In this episode of The Post-Christian Podcast, I interviewed Dr. Joey Dodson, an expert on the intersection of Greek philosophy and early Christianity. Joey dives deep into the parallels between ancient philosophers like Plato and biblical figures, drawing fascinating connections that enlighten our understanding of the New Testament.
Joey further explores how Paul’s teachings provide a response to Platonic thought, challenging modern misconceptions about sin and transformation. The episode emphasizes the profound difference between merely coping with sin and experiencing true, transformative power through Christ.
Joey is the author of the following books:
- Conquerors Not Captives: Reframing Romans 7 for the Christian Life
- Paul and the Giants of Philosophy: Reading the Apostle in Greco-Roman Context
- A Little Book for New Bible Scholars
- Paul and the Greco-Roman Philosophical Tradition (The Library of New Testament Studies)
