Today's Episode
Welcome to the Open Seat podcast! On today's episode, we welcome special guest and one of our former professors, Dr. David E. Bosworth! Dr. Bosworth is one of the New Testament professors at Colorado Christian University, specializing in Koine Greek, Pauline Literature, and Intercultural Ministry. After conversing about the joys of studying Greek, we conduct a grammar case study in 1 Corinthians chapter 5, examining the phrase "in the name of the Lord Jesus." We discuss the proper grammatical understanding of the phrase and its implication: the Church, as the representative of Christ to the world, must take sin seriously. Keep an eye out for his upcoming book, “Urgency and Severity: Pauline Rationale for Explusion in 1 Corinthians 5:1-13,” coming out May 30, 2024!

Our Mission
We recognize that the Bible was written in languages full of richness and beauty. Our goal is to explore the beauty of the New Testament, written in Koine Greek, that can sometimes become obscured in English translations. We desire to bridge the gap of scholarship and make these conversations about Biblical Greek accessible to all curious people. Whether you have studied Greek for years or you are embarking on this journey today, all are welcome to take a seat at the Table.
