Episode 124: Year C – 5th Sunday of Lent

In today’s episode, we focus on two details in the second reading and Gospel for this upcoming Fifth Sunday of Lent, Year C. The second reading is taken from Philippians 3:8-14, and the detail that has apologetical significance is Paul’s teaching that we receive righteousness that comes from Christ. For many Christians, this is proof that our justification is merely forensic/external and doesn’t involve interior righteousness. The Gospel reading, taken from John 8:1-11, involves the woman caught in adultery. The apologetical detail is Jesus’ ability to avoid the trap set by his enemies. The relevance this detail has is that it comes up in conversations concerning the famous Trilemma argument for Jesus’ divinity.
