Hey everybody. Welcome back to the OnScript podcast.

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

We hope that you're doing well and enjoying this spring.

We've got a great new episode for you here.

We hope you enjoy it.

And if you would like to support the podcast by giving

monthly, you can do so on script.com. Scrip.com or you could give us a rating or review on Apple

podcasts or wherever you listen. We'd appreciate that. If you haven't done it yet, just take a few

minutes to do it. It would help us out.

And otherwise, thanks for listening. Enjoy.

Our guest today is Dr. Brent Strawn, who is D. Moody Smith, distinguished professor of Old
