Hello friends welcome back to another episode of theology in a raw I have on the show today a very dynamic and

brilliant and godly dynamic duo I have on the show today

Dr. Osvaldo Padilla and his wife Kristen

or shall I say,

Kristen Padilla and her husband, Dr. Osavaldo Padilla.

Osvaldo is a professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School, me and Ozzy,

I know my Ozzy, his official name is Osvaldo, but me and Ozzy go way back.

We met at Aberdeen University where we were both doing our PhDs in New Testament and I'll never

forget that Ozzy came in after me and finished before me.

Now it took me a little over three years to do my PhD.

So Ozzy completed his PhD in just over two years and all of us other other PhD students were like,

what in the world just happened? This dude just came in and wrote a dynamite dissertation in two years on the speeches of non-Christians in the Book of Acts.

And we talk a little bit about the significance of that, and it's actually pretty intriguing

to look at the theological role that the speeches from non-Christians, the theological

role that those speeches play in the overarching theology of acts. It's actually really fascinating.

Not only did he finish his PhD, but then he published his dissertation in the highest

most respected dissertation

dissertation series is if you want to call it that from Cambridge

unit for CD press like they only accept like a couple different

dissertations a year to publish and his was one of them.

So anyway, all that's say, Ozzy is absolutely brilliant and his wife is absolutely brilliant.

Kristen Padilla is an author, a speaker.
