Hello and welcome to the OnScript podcast. This is Matt Lynch. I'm a co-host with Matt Bates,

Drew Johnson, Aaron Heim, and Chris Tilling. And all of us are trying to bring you in on some of the

conversations scholars are having at the moment around biblical studies. Two things before we begin.

First, if you could give us a ratings on iTunes, we will be very grateful, and Chris Tilling

will give you a blessing in Greek and Drew Johnson in Hebrew, which is, you can't put

a price tag on that.

Second of all, if you aren't on iTunes,

could you let us know what you think on whichever platform you're using?

So if you're not driving at the moment, if you could just, or wakeboarding or something like that,

if you could just look at your phone and see if the platform you use allows you to give the show a rating,

and if it does does you could at least

give this episode five stars because it's really good but i can't blame me if you if you give

all the shows with matt bates on them one to two stars um but that's just part of the

you know show ratings volatility that you get uh with OnScript because Matt's, Matt's involved in

this. No offense to Matt. I'm really thrilled about our guest today, Beverly Geventa,

who is a real rock star in New Testament Studies. Aaron Heim will be hosting, so I hope you

enjoy it. Welcome OnScript listeners. This is Aaron Heim coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and you are in for a real treat with this episode because today I'm joined by Beverly Roberts Geventa, who is a giant in our field. In fact, Beverly, I actually joke with my students that I want to be Beverly Guventa when I grow up.

But the reason I say that is because your work on Paul made me love Paul when I was first

starting out and because you made me a better reader of scripture.
