Hey everyone. Welcome to the OnScript podcast. This is Matt Lynch coming to you from Westminster Theological Center in the UK.

And I am co-host of the podcast with Aaron Hymn of Denver Seminary, Matthew Bates of Quincy University

in Illinois, and Drew Johnson of the King's College in New York City.

And for this episode, we have Professor Carol Newsom of Emory University, and she is an absolutely

superb scholar in person and well worth listening to. And if you've never read anything she's

written, please go find something

and read it. She's very thought-provoking and brings together a range of expertise that's

really unmatched in the field. She's one of the leading scholars of the Hebrew Bible Testament and is a wonderful supervisor,

teacher, and mentor to a lot of students. Special thanks for this episode. Go to Ed Hackie

for his expert production skills in taking what are often difficult sound files and

making something listenable out of them. And I want to thank Tommy Mullman for his expert

leadership in social media and to Paul Young as well for his help in that area. Thank you

to both you. Okay, on to the episode.

Hey on script listeners. I'm here today with Professor Carol Newsom of Enry University and Candler School of Theology in

Atlanta to talk about the Dead Sea Scrolls, climate change in the Bible, biblical and

post-biblical concepts of the self, and a bunch of other cool stuff that Carol has worked on in the

course of her illustrious career. Carol, thank you for your time and welcome to Onscript.

Thank you for inviting me.

Carol is Charles Howard Candler, Professor of Old Testament at Candler School of Theology,
