- A conversation between Eugenia Constantinou and Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas regarding Ms. Constantinou's recent book: "The Crucifixion of the King of Glory."
Dr. Eugenia Constantinou is an acclaimed author and scholar who has earned six degrees in various disciplines, including a Masters in Theology from Harvard Divinity School, where she specialized in New Testament, a doctorate in law from Pepperdine University, a doctorate from the Universite Laval in Quebec, a Master of Theology from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Massachusetts, where she specialized in Orthodox Theology and Patristics, and a Master of Arts from the University of San Diego. Her book The Crucifixion of the King of Glory is a breathtaking multi-disciplinary masterpiece. Her previous book is titled Thinking Orthodox. Eugenia has for two decades taught Biblical Studies and Early Christianity at the University of San Diego, where she lives with her husband Father Kostas, a Greek Orthodox priest.
This event took place at the Union League Club in New York City on February 28th, 2023. Learn more about Socrates in the City at socratesinthecity.com.
I got the book last year due to Eric’s show. Am thrilled to have read it through Lent. What a Gift this Mighty Scholar is to the wider Body of Christ ☦️🌹
But they wont let her speak in church coz she's a woman made in the image of God.
@B God's word says women are not allowed to teach men as the man is the head of the woman and Christ is the head of the Man ible33AD
But Holly Mary tell to our Lord to do the miracle in Canaa wedding ❤
I love that Christianity is rediscovering it's Jewish roots. It adds so much to the meaning, traditions and true identity of Christ!
That is why reading the Bible is so important and understanding the culture is equally important... the holy spirit will speak the rest of your heart
Do you know what is interesting??? Christians did not leave the Church, it was the Jews who left. So that means that the Orthodox Christian Church is the original Church of the Old and New Testament. Dr. Jeanie also spoke about how the Jews were supposed to roast their lamb on Passover... the lamb had to be standing up with the front legs spread out... as if it were crucified. And Yet, the Jews have not realized that their passover lamb was in Crucifixion position which is how their temple says they must roast it. Amazing stuff. I love Dr. Jeanie Constantinou. I met her about 6 years ago. Her and her husband Father Kosta... Great people.
Oiy vey
We know that as Christian from middle east go read Saint Ephrem ..The sage APHRAHAT ...etc they read old testemant
Read the Church Fathers and you'll get greater insights. They are to understading the Bible what the founding fathers are to the constitution.
Just bought the Audible version. She narrates it herself and after listening to the sample, I thought she did a nice job. Looking forward to listening to this book. Thank you both. God bless you.
I didn’t know this is on Audible. Thanks for the tip. God bless everyone.
This very well may be my favorite Socrates in the City event. I didn't make it through without stopping to get a copy of the book.
I cannot wait to read Eugenia's books. Thanks so much Eric for this episode. What a blessing to hear about the back up story of Jesus' crucifixion and death in so much detail.
Greetings and blessings to my former professor! I love watching her over and over, never ever get tired, an absolute blessing. IC XC NIKA ☦☦☦
You should listen to her podcast. The Old Testament one is "Searching the Scriptures" and the New Testament one is "Searching the Scriptures, Live." You'll be the smartest in any room until Dr. Jeanie is in it.
@spartanastas5560 Yes,absolutely! Lover her podcasts as well. Thank you!
EXCELLENT interview! I cannot wait to read the book. Thank you Eric Metaxas for your life's work and Eugenia Constantinou for yours!
Someone please stop Dallas Jenkins right now and bring together the whole crew of The Chosen to get this woman's consultancy to craft the upcoming seasons. I have feeling her input will corroborate with the truthfulness and cinematography of the series.
And Mel Gibson as he works on his sequel for The Passion.
My understanding is that the chosen is not correct... Many pastors have recommended not watching.
THIS IS THE FAULT OF ALL WHITE PEOPLE - WHITE ONCE UPON A TIME WERE THE CEO’S OF EVERY COMPANY AND HELD ALL THE POWER IN EVERY ASPECT OF AMERICAN LIFE - THEN WHITE PEOPLE WENT WOKE AND DECIDED TO GIVE ALL THE POWER AWAY TO 🥷✊🏿🥷✊🏿🥷AND🇮🇱🐍🌈🇮🇱🐍🌈🇮🇱AND NOW THERE IS 72 GENDERS AND CHRISTIANITY IS CONSIDERED EVIL ALONG WITH THE NATIONAL ANTHEM 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸WHITE PEOPLES WAKE UP STOP BEING WOKE
The selected series blends facts with fiction, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and invention. Given the extent of creative liberties taken to fill gaps, I'd advise steering clear of it. Just as adding a bit of dirt to clear water spoils the entire container, the mixing of truth and fabrication tarnishes the whole series.
I like the way you think. These were my thoughts exactly. So I came to watch this again and saw your words.
I just love your approach to our Lord and His people. The Holy Spirit is so hugely present at these beautiful gatherings, like sitting down for a coffee and chat with the family. Thank you for making it happen. Just lovely. From UK . XXXX
Wow, I'm amazed at the depth of theological understanding and its link to religious practice in the Orthodox Church. Definitely worthy of investigation.
I just started reading the book Monday of Holy Week. Thank you Eric for telling us about it, and for this interview of this brilliant author who obviously knows and loves Jesus, the King of Glory. Best book by far I have ever read about Jesus' passion and death.
Easter
Shattered at the break of day
all broken was the seal
Empty was his resting place
where Mary came to kneel
Scattered were the weapons
One hundred soldiers fled
What on earth had happened here
to bring the world such dread
Mary came to wonder
and wandered near the flowers
weeping for her master
for what had seemed like hours
Then a voice so lovely
had caused her to recall
She recognized the sound of it
It was the master's call
Weeping by the fountain
within the garden green
He touched her with his wounded hand
that Mary must have seen
and with the mantle of her hair
He wiped away her tears
a perfect love had touched her
and drove away her fears
Magdalene was first to find
the Resurrected king
as power and Dominion
Into the world she'd sing
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was familiar with some of these things but the whole “you’re no friend of Caesar” thing I had no idea. I might have to get this book. Thanks, Eric and SITC. Always great content!
I’ve read the book. It’s really good.
Same! I just ordered the book.
It appears the Church has become corrupt just like the Temple was... Unannointed leaders. Soon, the Second Coming will align with Jesus earthly walk to cleans the Temple to removing true believers before King Jesus comes to establish His earthly Kingdom thru His wrath to remove those unbelievers left behind. The Tribulation of seven years is the last chance for the two prophets and the 144000 witnesses to lift the vale of unbelief of the remnant of Jews still alive to believe in the Risen Christ...The King of Glory !
Truly a masterpiece of a interview! Thanks so much.
For those who are interested today is Holy Monday for the Eastern Orthodox . I’m a convert to Orthodoxy of over 20 years and proceeding through Holy Week’s services struck me like a lightening bolt all those years ago.and does every year .If you are able to attend the evening services this week in a nearby parish and then the three on Good Friday and the two services on Saturday all that was discussed and so much more will be laid out for you with a clarity that will astound you . If you are humble of heart and yearn for the truth that is. The church has been leading the faithful through this for centuries…
It goes great job leading russians against ukranians as well, am I rite? I am sure Jesus is proud of you
Hater.@@DartNoobo
@@Anonimni7 yeah I hate lies and spiritual filth. And proud of it.
The more of this I watch, the more fearful, but most importantly hopeful I become!
Right? Think of how quickly all this Jesus stuff is handwaved away without a second thought. No evidence is the claim. Au Contraire. Layers and layers of it for those who will seek it.
Headed to the Orthodox Church myself, after 30 years as a Protestant. It was the beauty of Divine Liturgy that finally got me.
This was fantastic! Thanks Eric and Company for streaming. Hopefully some day you’ll come to the Missionary territory of the SF Bay Area. Better yet Carmel/Monterey area.
Thank you Eric & SITC for recommending this POWERFULL BOOK!!!
Amazing discussion…looking forward to getting the book
Looking forward to reading this book. Thank you for introducing us to the author & bringing the book to our attention!
People should read the Bible instead of her book!
All respect is due yet I am still short. I love you Sir. And specially love Dr. Eugenia. BTW I am Greek Orthodox of Nazareth of Galilee
Hi, im not familiar with the history so I might sound real ignorant, my apologies. But Galilee are jews? Weren't the disciples from there?
Eric as always you have highlighted one more great book that I might otherwise have not known about. I am going to buy the hard cover version so I can read and then have it in my library. God bless u and your guest. I am reminded again that in the end , God prevails, goodness prevails.
I’m looking forward to the arrival of this book. I watched the program on Holy Saturday. What w wonderful gift your program is. Thank you again!
Came for Yeonmi Park and was mind-blown seeing Dr. Constantinou being part of your guests! ❤️ what a pleasant surprise!
Great conversation and credit to Eric for bringing an Orthodox person on the program.
Eugenia, why does it take you to finally present the story as you do and as it should be told? It seems it takes a lawyer to bring Jesus home to us, just as it took a lawyer (Philip E. Johnson) to debunk Darwinian evolution. Truly wonderful. I read you just now as far as the flip pages would allow me on Amazon, then ordered the book. Eric is not alone to be surprised. I think everyone here in the comments will have unreserved praise for you. Thank you both! I think much of the scriptures and gospels should receive your treatment, i.e., be told from within the times they were written, in as much detail as possible. Again, thank you.
Tremendous. Just tremendous hour and twenty minutes of sharing. Thank you!
I’ve ordered this woman’s book and also Michael Medveds two books from his episode. Honestly some of the best book recommendations I have ever received. Thank you
Wow! What a wonderful interview. So many powerful insights. I think that I need to buy the book!
The crowd were exceptional, and the author was as well. I love the sense of humor of Eric and his questions were excellent as well.
Just bought the book for myself and as Easter gift for friends! Thank you!!
I find it amazing that so much that is plainly told in the Bible people are blind to. If one actually studies and ponders on what is told it can be clearly had by the message that emanates from from its words. Seek and ye shall find.
In tears by the end of this. Love I. Praise the King of Glory Jesus Christ our messiah
As someone who is woefully understudied, I know this book will help me paint better pictures when I explain the history of it. Thank you SITC for your "golden" presentations.
I have watched this with great interest. Such an incredible discussion. Like most others have said, I definitely want to buy the book. I want to share it with an unbelieving cousin who love’s history. Thanks for sharing such wonderful content.
Thank you for letting me know another contemporary trustworthy guide into faith. I am Catholic.
Awesome. Eric asked how is it possible that so many have not heard these things. I believe it is because most pastors do not do in depth teaching of the Bible.
Eric MUST interview Pastor Jon Courson in Oregon. He has three set commentary on entire Bible and they are so important and helpful. His story is inspiring 🙏
I found it interesting about Isaac being a type of Christ. But also, Dr W.L. Wilson M.D., D.D., LH.D., in his Dictionary of Bible Types also presented Isaac as a type of sinner:
"He is also a type of the sinner who should be punished for his sins but who finds a substitute in the Lord JESUS, represented by the ram caught in the thicket."
Of which it shows Christ as that lamb which was slain for our sing.
Ordered the book for delivery today.
One of the best Socrates in the City ever. Thank you so much.
What a wonderful interview!!!!!
Interesting. Good details on the subject, I think. I put the scene in poetic form. I wrote a series of poems from The Last Supper to the resurrection and the ascension of Jesus into heaven.
Too bad you all did not study theology via Catholicism long ago- you could have been appreciating these amazing connections long ago... Revealed for centuries/millennia!
Wonderfully relevetory connections and teaching. Same place as well, hill of Moriah.
So many parallels with Christ.
Many "types" of Christ, Melchizedek, Moses, Isaac, David.
God is abundantly mysterious & wonderful❤
Thank you
The only one was like the High Priest of God was Melchizedek, no other was a type of Christ like you think even if this lady is saying that Isaac was a type of Christ. Abraham knew that God would provide an animal. He told Isaac God will provide. So Isaac trusted his father. And God did provide a sacrifice which was his son Jesus. God was showing Abraham ahead of his time that Jesus was going to be the savior of all sinners. Remember what Jesus said in John gospel, he said that Abraham rejoice that he would see his day, he saw it and was glad. John 8:56
@@virginiasanchez4614 Study the prototypes I've shared; it's amazingly true. God's blessings.
@@virginiasanchez4614ou yourself have just proven that Isaac is a type for Christ. Abraham/God father, Isaac/Jesus son. Sacrifice of Isaac made no sense, so ofc it was prevented. Abraham's faith, however was not pointless, neither was his example for future generations
Nice and deep message. Greetings and blessings from Colombia, SA
Another brilliant interview!!!
By the way, the full, original Old Testament is written in Greek, too! It's called the Septuagint.
The original Old Testament was written in Hebrew. The Septuagint is an early 3rd century BC translation of the original Hebrew.
love his humor, natural and authentic speaker.
Well this introduction can't be ignored. I paused it and bough the book right away.
This is AWESOME!!!
wow, this conversation is so fascinating and rich, thank you!!!
I watched a Alice von Hildebrand episode ... got side tracked and this started auto playing ..... O HAPPY FAULT .... What an amazing discussion ... I just purchased this book on audible ... Thank You and God reward you !
Wow...excellent interview. Just purchased the book.
Just finished the audiobook. Very informative. And I like that she read it herself.
She forgot to mention Pilot's wife
Mt 27. 19
Besides, while he was sitting on
the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.”
It’s in her book.
Wonderful discussion! I will be engaging with her book. Her research and explanations tie together so many details of the gospels and history in ways that bring great understanding of the "trial" of Jesus and His crucifixion. Am a Catholic...years after my agnostic/spiritual/"Christian"/Protestant...finally...Catholic faith. Have read other histories of the early Christian church and am totally engaged with Eugenia's study of this history founded on her understanding of the general and Roman history of the time during the life of Christ.
When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a [c]tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this [d]just Person. You see to it.”
25And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
Ok. I'm going to have to buy this book. Christ is King 👑 ☦️
It is so painful watching Metaxas constantly disturbing Dr Constantinou and not allowing her to finish her thought. 🙄
That is the problem with too many interviewers. They do not allow the guests to finish answering the questions they were asked. The only interviewer
who lets people complete their train of thought is Joni Lamb of Daystar TV. She stays silent until the guest has fully answered the question.
Just read it, great book!
Thank you River. I was anxiously awaiting your insight. God Bless you and congrats to the Brits!!! ❤❤❤❤
More Orthodox guests please.
Great discussion. Thank you both
Incredible conversation. The book has been ordered!
Dr. Constantiou is so patient with this guy...he is such a rude interviewer. How many times is he going to interrupt her and say "I jist didnt know that" and then attempt to explain what she is trying finish saying.
PS. To below comment; love this interview an find Eugenie extremely informative and interesting. Will definitely buy the book.
Wow! Thank you, Eric and Eugenia!! God is sovereign! So be it!
I just ordered her book too.
As an Armenian I consider Greeks my brothers. Also, this subject fascinates me. I am looking forward to reading this book.
You’ll enjoy it. I’ve read it and learned so much.
Thank you
This book moved me on so many fronts. I think academic Protestants have long been hijacked by 19th Century German "scholarship" and they "assume" that it (the so-called scholarship) is true. This book freed me from the last vestiges of that nonsense. I came to understand the amazing economic engine of the temple for Jerusalem. Settled religion and is analogous to settled science. Both concepts are corrupt, going all the way back to the First Century. This book actually took me back to the real-time unfolding of the events.
One thing I will mention is that I do not appreciate the flak given to those in attendance of Protestant denominations church by claiming they don’t take church history into account. As a someone who serves in many ministries in a Slavic American Pentecostal church, I would say many of us take history and context into account when studying the word of God. It is still on the uncommon side overall, but it is also very common in my circles.
As a Jehovah's witness I heard nothing new from this woman. I have been taught all this almost from beginning.
And judging by comments below most people are indeed walking in the darkness.
Outstanding. Glory to God.
Many Protestants maybe did and do miss the Jewish (and Patristic) background, but check out Calvin and others who were scholars as well as pastors...they knew a lot of the traditions.
Loved this! Thank you
Great talk and interview, Eric. Looking forward to getting the book!
Got a copy 🎉
Of all San Diegans, please invite Karl Keating. Thanks and God Bless us all.
What about the fact that our Grk Orthodox Church NEVER TEACHES SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST ALONE WITHOUT THE MEDIATION OF MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS?! WHY DO WE PRAY TO DEAD POEPLE WHOM WE CALL SAINTS? WHY THE HEART OF THE MESSAGE IS NEVER HEARD IN OUR CHURCHES??!!… ERIC, PLEASE ASK HER HOW WE CAN BE SAVED AND BE SURE OF OUR ETERNAL DESTINY IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL?!
Dear Dr Konstantinou, you are telling a lot about history. You are giving us a commentary but NOT THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN. TALK ABOUT THE WAY OF SALVATION! ERIC, YOU KEEP PRAISING HER ABOUT HOW SHE WROTE THIS BOOK BUTYOU ALL WORDS AN MISSING THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BIBLE!
@@anastasiaburr3959 ,
For me, as an Orthodox Christian, it's very moving to hear the Orthodox Church proclaim the "why" of Jesus's death every year during Pascha-the Easter service. At this service, and at every service for the next 40 days, we very clearly articulate why Jesus died: "... to trample down death by death ..." with the result that "... to those in the tombs he has granted life."
Also, though you will hear Orthodox Christians say things like, "Most holy Theotokos, save us," they don't mean that Mary is a co-Redemptrix. The word "save" in Greek has a much broader meaning than in English. What Orthodox Christians mean is that they hope she prays for them as any Christian would pray for a friend. Additionally, the saints aren't "dead." Orthodox Christians believe that the saints are in "in Christ," and since Christ isn't dead (he's alive), neither are the saints dead (they're also alive!) which means we don't ask any dead person to pray for us. In short, Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus is the only savior.
What does it mean to know Jesus?
I’ll try to answer your question from a personal perspective. My experience with religion growing up was the Christian science church. I found so many faults in that by the time I was 18 I left. I never picked up any other organized type religion. This was in the 60s and there was a lot of searching for answers by my generation and they were looking in all kinds of directions as you can imagine from those days. Nothing seemed to fulfill any of those existential questions I had And God was not anything to me, but what I intrinsically felt was the Creator.
In 1969 after returning home from Vietnam, I met some young people like myself who were experiencing a spiritual personal revival. When I learned that they were talking about a personal relationship with Jesus, I knew in my heart, that this was what I had been looking for. I literally prayed and asked God to forgive me for all the crud (sin) that I sensed God was not pleased with, and he forgave me and changed my life in a very miraculous way. That was when I could say I came to “know” Jesus.
Hope that helped.
Loved listening to this ❤️
Yeshua you Jews Jesus for you
We had an Italian neighbor in Brooklyn who thought Jesus was Italian.
I read the book after listening to this interview. Although well written and researched, I was shocked to read that the author believes Christ died on the cross for love and not so we might be forgiven. From Genesis to Revelation, we read of God's plan for redemption. John said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." To deny this fact is to belittle the cross.
Wish that her Bible Studies were videoed and put on utube.
Have any of you watching this video made any judgments as to the similarities of how the Jewish leaders had such hatred for Jesus, and how they GATHERED PEOPLE TOGETHER to become a 'mob', and how that scene is reminiscent of what's going on in America? How college kids are being used to act as a 'mob' whenever the PTB decides when and where to make a scene?
Very interesting ! I learned so much
Very interesting! Did you know that in Hebrew Abraham said ‘God with provide to Himself THE Lamb, not a lamb. The word for the animal caught in the thicket is not lamb, but ram. As in a large strong animal
Jeanne just dropping bombs! 👏👏👏
starts@8:05
This interview was very interesting. I have a question. I haven't read the book yet but plan to. Does it really say that the scourging broke a rib on Jesus? Made me wonder some since Scripture emphasizes no bones were broken.
Fascinating smaller details both about about St. John being buried in priestly vestments, and also the High Priest not being allowed to publicly mourn- and yet Caiaphas tears his garment when Jesus says He is the Son of Man prophesies in Daniel (coming on the clouds).
52:21 I HAD to stop here and comment!!! It makes sense that John may have been a priest, because he was the only one of the disciples who wasn't murdered. He was marooned on the island of Patmos where he wrote the Book of the Revelation...And James, his brother, was killed by Herod Agrippa after James led one of Agrippa's men to Christ. I'm speculating that Herod couldn't handle this news of the conversion and had them both beheaded. AND I'm also guessing that Herod was the ONLY ONE who had the authority to kill one of his men AND a priest...
Let me continue listening to this lecture and buy the book! This is all so fascinating!
I read the book last year. It will amaze you the detail Dr Jeannie has researched.
As you are discussing the Roman and Sanhedrin trials, it strikes me that in both parties being responsible for this, is a coming together of Gentile and Jewish peoples in being responsible for Jesus' death and it is the sins of both for whom Jesus laid down his life. Ultimately, however, Isaiah teaches us that God was pleased to put His Son to death to accomplish salvation for us. So, while Jews and Gentiles were equally guilty in putting Jesus to death, Jesus laid His life down willingly in accordance with the plan from eternity past.
Wow!
Allowing the author to finish her thoughts without interuption would have been wonderful in an otherwise excellent presentation.
So, isn't the beloved disciple the one who wrote the apocalypse? Wasn't said his body was never found? someone answer please.
What Eugenia said about Isac Muslims also say this, but than about Ishmael
16:31 Glad for the admission of the Protestant disconnect from the early church, but the problem is that that won’t change just because Protestants learn a little more about church history pre-reformation. Protestantism, especially today, is built on a disconnect from Holy Tradition, the Saints, the Church, which ultimately is the Body of Christ on earth. You have to go all the way and unite yourself to the Body that Christ established and has preserved ever since, which is not any of the myriad of Protestant groups, whether in the 1500’s or today.
(This is coming from a former evangelical).
Thank you❤
