We’ve been in a series on the Two Powers heresy. So far, we’ve looked at First Enoch, Philo, the Mishnah, and the Tosefta as we’ve systematically surveyed the primary sources in chronological order. Next up, we’ll analyze two sources within the Midrashim. We’re going to encounter the first clear mention of two powers in heaven. What kind of two powers did the author have in mind? Are they two powers working together or in competition? How does God appear in scripture? Why does he manifest as an old man sometimes and a young warrior at other times? When do we date our first two-powers references? Who was Rabbi Nathan of Babylon? What does he have to tell us about two powers? Get answers to these questions in today’s Restitutio Podcast.
