Summary

I always have my guests fill out a "short bio" of themselves so I can post it in the show notes, and here's what Pete said: "I hate writing short bios of myself :-)" Thanks Pete! Anyway, Pete's a well known Old Testament scholar and biblical theologian. I guess you can just Google him if you don't know who he is. Most of all, he's a former baseball player and a huge baseball fan. We talk about that a bit. Oh, and we also talk aobut his faith journey, the Bible, inspiration, the nature of biblical authority, and yes, of course, Christian panentheism. Pete's a super fascinating scholar! And I thoroughly enjoyed his honesty and humility.
