About this listen

In this episode of Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson return to Moses in the cleft of the rock to clarify what Scripture means by the glory of God. Paulson explains how Luther learned to read the entire Bible through the distinction between Law and Gospel, showing that Moses was commanded to preach the Law while Christ Himself preached mercy to him. The discussion highlights how God's glory is not found in human ascent or mystical experience but in the preached Word of Christ that delivers grace apart from works. Ultimately, the episode reveals that the Old Testament centers on Christ's promise and proclamation, making Moses a recipient of the Gospel even as he served as the preacher of the Law.
