#66: The New Testament in its World (with Michael F. Bird)
“The New Testament is history. It’s also literature and it’s theology. We didn’t just want to inform people about the New Testament, we wanted to change the way people read it.”
Michael Bird is a theologian and New Testament scholar, who was responsible for editing the landmark work with NT Wright, The New Testament in it’s World. Mike and I talked about how to read the New Testament, what it tells us about power, empire, community, culture, history and more.
