On this episode of the Ephesiology Podcast, Michael and Andrew sit down with Dr. Scot McKnight for a discussion of his latest book, Revelation for the Rest of Us. Scot tells us that the instinct of the average person in the pew is a modified view of dispensationalism. Confused by the term? Join the podcast to hear more about the relationship between dispensationalism, civil religion, and Christian nationalism along with the focus on what it means to be a dissident disciple of Jesus. Scot warns that we end up diluting the Christian faith when we connect Washington D.C. and Christianity.

Rediscover Jesus through Revelation
Revelation paints a clear picture of Jesus. In this 10 week study, we’ll discover what it means to be a disciple of Jesus living in challenging times. We’ll see the mission of Jesus’ disciples along with the gospel they proclaimed. And, we’ll dive deeply into the meaning that is so often puzzling to the modern reader.
Ephesiology: A Study of the Ephesian Movement
If you want to understand principles for the growth of Christianity in the first century, the place to begin is the city of Ephesus. In this winsome study, Ephesiology offers readers a comprehensive view of the empowering work of the Holy Spirit in the most significant city of the New Testament, and compels us to ask the question: how can we effectively connect Christ to our culture?
“Masterfully handling the book of Ephesians and using its content as a definitive guide, Michael Cooper lays a theologically strong foundation that is both corrective and directive to disciple making movements. The principles he gleans from the book of Ephesians and related texts, help to ensure the on-going multiplication and maturation of a movement. Because these are supra-cultural principles, they are applicable anywhere in the world.”
Marvin J. Newell, Staff Missiologist, Missio Nexus, Author of Crossing Cultures in Scripture
