Engaging Scripture: Conversations in Biblical Studies

Dr. David Capes joins the show to talk about his new book, Matthew Through OT Eyes, a great resource highlighting the Jewish background and context of the First Gospel.

Dr. Dennis Edwards (North Park Theological Seminary) sat down for an interview about his new book Humility Illuminated. Learn about what the Bible means and doesn't mean by humility, and how humility is more of a posture towards God than it is a certain set of actions. You'll love this insightful conversation, listen in and get the book to learn more.

Engaging Scripture has a new series, "Writers on Writers," where I (Nijay) talk about respected writers in biblical studies about the art and science of writing, ups and downs, successes and failures, and everything in between.

My podcast (formerly called Crux Sola) has been renamed Engaging Scripture. Same content: biblical teaching and biblical scholarship. I am excited to do this brief interview with Matt Bates, recently hired as Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary (fall 2024). This is a fun "get to know you" podcast short. A more serious discussion is coming up next!

In this episode, Dr. Patrick Schreiner shares about some of his new publications on Acts and his brand new book on "political discipleship" and NT theology.
