Proving Jesus is the Messiah: Dr. Mark Moore

Jesus is like Moses, but more? w/Dr. Dale Allison

TheologyU hosts Christian academics and author to talk about their work in a way that anyone can understand. Historian Dale Allison joins TheologyU for the third time to discuss Jesus and his portrayal as a “new Moses” in the New Testament. Dr. Allison is among the most famous and well-respected Biblical scholars in the world, widely publishing work about the Old and New Testaments. He’s still Dearborn professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary. He’s a brilliant scholar and a gracious conversation partner. Moses is among the most important and commendable people in the Old Testament. He speaks directly with God, confronts Pharoah, and leads the people out of Egypt- serving as their mediator with God throughout.It makes sense that Jesus, the liberator of all people and our permanent mediator with the Father, would resemble Moses in some ways, but the parallels go much deeper. Both Jesus himself and the Gospel writers who recount his life picked up on and emphasized the ways that he re-enacts many of the things Moses did. At the end of this episode, we also talk about some of the critical ways Jesus is differentiated from Moses, and anyone else for that matter, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth noticing and learning from the similarities, too. What is Biblical typology?Is Jesus like Moses?Does Jesus fulfill prophecy?How does Jesus relate to Deuteronomy 18?Did Jesus believe he was the Messiah?Does Matthew create the Jesus-Moses typology?Is the New Testament reliable?
