(If you can’t tell by the title of her book, Du Mez is a woke feminist.)īurk has been warning that Du Mez is a false teacher. Over the weekend, there was fascinating exchange on Twitter between Denny Burk, professor of biblical studies at Boyce College, and Kristin Kobes Du Mez (pronounced “doo may”), professor of history at Calvin University and author of the bestselling book Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.
Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” The chief priests and elders huddled among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet.” Finally, they reasoned to answer Jesus and said, “We do not know.” The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?” Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. The next day, when He returned to the temple to teach, the chief priests and the elders approached Jesus and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” After doing this, the blind and lame were able to come to Him and be healed. In Matthew 21, we read about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to the shouts of people saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” He then cleansed the temple of the merchants and money changers, turning over their tables and driving out all who bought and sold.
