Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of Theology and Ra. I am coming to Greeley, Colorado, March 5th and March 6th, Nashville, Tennessee, March 10th, and March 11th. After that, I'm going to be in Seattle, Washington, March 15th, Philadelphia, April 30th

in May 1st, and Phoenix, Arizona, May 6 and May 7th.

You can check out Center for Faith.com forward slash events, I believe, yep, I had to double check that, forward slash

events, or you can just go to Center for Faith.com and there's a clear events link at the top of the page. You can check out how you can register to all of these events.

You do have to register ahead of time.

I recommend if you do plan on coming to one or some or all these events,

you got to register sooner than later because

spots do fill up.

I have on the show today a friend of mine that I've known for gosh maybe about 10 12 years. We overlapped when we're doing our

PhDs. I was doing a PhD at Aberdeen University and Nijay Gupta I was doing his PhD at Durham University, which was, as we talk about on the show,

the kind of center of New Testament studies 10 years ago or so.

There was just a whole pile of just world-renowned New Testament scholars there.

NijJ got to study with those scholars.

And NijJ has become one of the up and coming leading New Testament scholars.

He's kind of, he's more than just up and coming.

He's published several books, commentaries, and has many more things in the works.

So he's more than just up and coming, but he's still fairly young.

We're, you know, I think he's in his early 40s.

But I mean, he is and is going to be a leading voice in New Testament scholarship.

He's a brilliant dude kind humble gentle wise scholar and he also has a massive heart for the church so I'm

super excited for you get to know knee jay sorry doctor knee jubta Dr. NijJ Goopda.

Nije, thanks so much for being on theology to wrong man.
