Did Peter's Vision in Acts 10 Abolish God's Food Laws? (Interview w/ R. M. Bailey)

Did Peter's Vision in Acts 10 Abolish God's Food Laws? (Interview w/ R. M. Bailey)

Did God revoke his food laws? Did he abolish the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Many argue that he did based on Peter’s vision in Acts chapter 10. However, recent scholarship is challenging that interpretation. In his new book, Whom God Has Made Clean: A Pronomian Pocket Guide to Acts 10:9–15, my guest, R. M. Bailey, argues that Peter’s vision isn’t about food at all. Bailey challenges popular antinomian interpretations and offers a pronomian reading that better fits both the immediate context and the broader biblical narrative. I’m excited to talk to him about this important passage.
