Hey everyone. Welcome back to the OnScript podcast.

This is Matt Lynch coming to from Regent College in Vancouver.

Thanks so much for tuning in.

In this episode, you're going to hear an interview I did with Amy Cottrell about her book uncovering violence, reading biblical narratives as an ethical

project. It was a super fascinating book and one I highly recommend. So I hope you enjoy our conversation.

And Amy and I are both graduates of Emory. So it's nice to connect with someone who graduated a bit ahead of me.

But we share a lot of the same interests and have studied with a lot of the same people, which is pretty cool.

So, also, if you had not heard in earlier episodes, we're looking for a new producer. Ed Hackkey, who's been

faithfully producing this show for five years, is going to be retiring from OnScript, and we're

so grateful to him for all that he's done over the years. And we're looking for someone that could volunteer

to help us with that. Or if you just want to touch base with us, have ideas or thoughts, we'd

welcome that. You can email OnScriptpodcast at gmail.com to follow up. All right, without further

do, enjoy this episode.

Hey, everyone.

Our guest today is Dr. Amy Cottrell, Denson and Franklin, Professor of Religion at Birmingham Southern College.

She's the author of Language, Power, and Ident identity in the Lament Psalms of the Individual.

And most recently, and the book will be discussing today uncovering violence, reading biblical narratives as an ethical project.

Amy, welcome to Onscript.

Thank you so much for having me.
