Welcome back OnScript devotees.

I'm Matt Lynch, a co-host of the podcast.

For those of you who are just getting to know us, by the way,

we're a collective of scholars who interview other scholars

about stuff that interests us in the area of Bible and theology.

And our aim is to bring you in on some of the conversations that we

have behind the scenes in the dark corridors of conferences and at the back of lecture halls

after the crowds dissipate. So we hope you enjoy the show. A quick request, if there's any joy

among you, could I ask that you head on over to your iTunes account

and give us a rating to remember?

Also, if anyone has connections with the world of Outlaws' Super Sprint Car Racing, you know

the kind that happens on the third mile dirt tracks, we've decided unanimously on script

at our annual general meeting that attendees of

such races are, in fact, our target audience, and we'd love to get a shout out over the loud

speaker of some of their events, or perhaps even an advert on one of their cards. So if anyone

has connections with the world of outlaws,

we'd really appreciate that. Thanks for listening, and in this episode, I interview Professor

Benjamin Summer. I hope you enjoy it. Welcome back to Onscript. This is Matt Lynch, and I am

here today with Professor Benjamin Summer, who is Professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages at Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City.
