And the Hello friends welcome back to another episode of the new

Evangelicals podcast great to have you here with us. If you're watching on YouTube,

and it looks like I'm not in my upstairs loft area,

that's because you're correct.

I'm not.

In New Jersey, as of this recording, it's about 98 degrees in full humidity and my AC unit upstairs cannot keep up. So I'm recording this intro downstairs in my kitchen. So welcome this is my house what little you can see of it

if you're joining us on podcast this is your first time thank you wow amazing we are

always humbled and honored that you would choose to hang out with us for an hour or so,

especially given how many other amazing podcasts are in the

of spaces that we exist in so that means a lot on this episode of the podcast I want to tell you right now

if you're a theology nerd you need to buckle up okay I mean put the seatbelt on if you're driving you should definitely have your seatbelt on but on this episode I interviewed Dan McLellen he is I've been following him on Tiktok and

Instagram and Twitter for a while.

His videos, I've just never seen anything like you.

I'm just being honest with you.

He is so knowledgeable.

And it is just, when it comes to the biblical culture and context and the text of the Bible.

I mean this guy is a bona fide linguistic scholar, okay? So we went deep. I asked some questions I've always been wondering and I'm just

something you know, listen carefully because Dan, he knows what he's talking about and he just gives

great insight on the Bible and what's happening in the writing process and in the formation of the scripture.

So for me this was a real treat, treat you know we do our best to help people

explore the Christian tradition outside of their own evangelical heritage and this is one of those

episodes where you're just like wow never, never knew about this,
