Bethel Seminary, where I have the privilege to serve as assistant professor of New Testament, recently started a brand new podcast called Whole & Holy. The podcast is primarily intended to serve the church, especially pastors and alumni of Bethel Seminary. So far there have been a number of interesting episodes about hiring and firing, children’s ministry, disability ministry, political involvement, Christian leadership, and more. If you’re keen to subscribe, you can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
I had the privilege of being the guest on the first episode of the podcast discussing “What’s New in New Testament Studies?” I could have gone in a number of different directions with this question, but given the limited time and the intended audience of the podcast, I chose to talk about a recent New Testament book that I believe every theologically-minded person should read and that I genuinely believe is a real game changer in New Testament studies—John M. G. Barclay’s Paul & The Gift (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2015). In the podcast I provide a brief overview of the book as well as an explanation for why I think it’s a worthwhile book for discipleship. Here’s the link to the episode.
