SF506: Recapitulation Theory, the Multiethnic Church, and Ender's Game (Ep. 14)

• What is the scope of the Gospel's redemptive vision? How far does it go? Today we talk about Paul’s vision of the summing up of all things in Christ in Ephesians 1:10:

  1. THE SCOPE OF WORK

     1. Ephesians 1:10 “the summing up of all things (ἀνακεφαλαιόω) in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth“

     2. Irenaeus of Lyons “recapitulation theory”

  2. THE ADMINISTRATION OF WORK

     1. Ephesians 3:9 “to bring to light what is the administration (οἰκονομία) of the mystery“

     2. oἰκονομικά = the science of household management (or, economics: Aristotle)

     3. “The way we win matters” -Ender Wiggin
