Do Fruit Worthy of Repentance, with Darrell Bock: Luke 3:8, 10

Exegetically Speaking

Dr. Darrell Bock is Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. Among his other roles and accomplishments, he has earned recognition as a Humboldt Scholar (Tübingen University in Germany), is the author of over 40 books, including well-regarded commentaries on Luke and Acts and studies of the historical Jesus, and he works in cultural engagement as host of the seminary’s Table Podcasts. Today’s topic: John the Baptist’s call to repentance in the face of the Kingdom of God assumes an unbreakable connection between the “vertical” relation with God in repentance and the “horizontal” relations to our neighbors, as is clear in the repeated emphasis on “doing.”
