Is there a difference between how the New Testament is taught in church versus a university?

In this episode, New Testament scholar Hugo Mendez joins us to explore the devotional approach to the Bible often found in churches and how it contrasts with the critical, historical methods used in academia.

We discuss what surprises students about studying the New Testament in a classroom setting, whether one approach is ‘right,’ and how both can offer valuable insights for Christians, skeptics, and truth-seekers alike.

In this episode, we sit down with Bible scholar John Edwards to explore how critical scholarship can deepen one’s faith.

John shares his personal journey of reconciling faith and academia, offering insights into how studying the Bible critically can inspire and enrich Christian belief.

Join us as we discuss the positive impact of Jesus and the Bible in the modern world.
