Naked Bible Podcast 109 — John 10, Gods Or Men?
Channel: Houseform Apologetics
Date: 2017-09-21

In view of Mike’s work on the divine council and Psalm 82 in his best-selling book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible, many have asked what’s going on in John 10, where Jesus defends his deity by quoting Psalm 82. The consensus interpretation has the gods of Psalm 82 as only people – Jewish elders or Israelites at Sinai (both of which are unmentioned in Psalm 82). How does that approach make sense when Jesus needs to defend statements of equality with the Father elsewhere in the chapter (John 10:30, 38)? Mike’s view is that such an approach makes no sense at all – and that there is much more coherent alternative.

• Mike laid out his view in a conference paper accessible on the 
   Unseen Realm’s companion website (Chapter 4 tab). Mike's slide 
   presentation may be downloaded here (powerpoint slideshow):
