Lecture Title - A Kingdom of Friends: Matthew’s Vision for the “We” of Discipleship
Matthew’s Gospel presents a profound and nuanced vision of what it means to flourish as humans through becoming disciples of King Jesus. Flourishing in the kingdom of heaven requires a proper relationship to God, to other believers, and to the world outside of the church (“I, We, and They”). In this lecture, we will examine the vision Jesus gives for life together—the “we” of discipleship as a kingdom of true friends whose lives are marked by mercy and forgiveness. This vision can be seen especially in Joseph, the exemplar of the virtue of mercy, and the sophisticated and shocking “household code” of Matthew 18–20.
Jonathan T. Pennington (PhD University of St. Andrews) is Professor of New Testament Interpretation at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of multiple books, including Reading the Gospels Wisely: A Narrative and Theological Introduction (Baker Academic, 2012), The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing (Baker Academic, 2018), Jesus the Great Philosopher: Rediscovering the Wisdom Needed for the Good Life (Brazos Press, 2020), and Come and See: The Journey of Knowing God through Scripture (Crossway, 2023).
The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
