Episode 47: An Alternative Crimininal Justice System; Matthew 18:15-20
Manage episode 295580343 series 2655553
In this episode, I make the case that what normally has been understood as a passage about "church discipline" is actually about an alternative criminal justice system. The language used is language of ancient judicial proceedings in both Judea and the wider Greco-Roman world.
So those who are today talking about abolishing the current criminal justice system and replacing it with something more democratic and community-based seem to be thinking with the mind of Christ.
