You Tube Theology

Nineteenth-century scholarship often argued that Christianity succeeded because it became theologically Hellenized, replacing Jewish national and terrestrial eschatology with Platonic spiritual interpretation. In the 1990s, Robert Wilken fundamentally disrupted this narrative for the patristic period, but New Testament scholarship has continued to maintain the spiritualization thesis with a surprising consistency. This lecture interrogates this thesis, arguing instead that, in Jesus and Paul, the Evangelists, and even Revelation, there are signs that concrete earthly and universal heavenly hopes for Jerusalem continue to coexist in Christianity's canonical texts.

Pusey House is an institution associated with the University of Oxford founded as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, a leading figure of the Oxford Movement - a movement of the mid-19th century which sought to bring the Church of England to a deeper understanding of its witness as part of the Universal Catholic Church.

The House continues the work of E. B. Pusey in restoring the Church of England's Catholic life and witness.
