Welcome to Think Biblically, Conversations on Faith and Culture, a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.

I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics.

And I'm your co-host Sean McDowell Professor of Apologetics.

We're here with our special guest, Dr. Darrell Bach, who he and I go way, way back, longer

I think than either of us would care to admit.

But I think I've known Darryl longer than I have any person in my life outside my family of origin. We grew up together, came to faith together,

and have continued serving the Lord together at our various institutions.

Darrell and I have been longtime friends. the Lord together at our various institutions.

Darryl and I have been long time friends.

And so it's a delight to have you on with us,

Darryl, to talk about your new book,

your latest book entitled Cultural Intelligence.

And we'll get into a little bit about what that means.

But we just want to welcome you so delighted

that you take the time to be with us.

Glad to be with you.

And we can debate whether it was a charge or a block later.

That's right.

Let's just say we needed a referee almost every day growing up.

That's exactly right. Now, Darrell, you've been a New Testament person for most of your

professional life specializing in historical Jesus studies this book is kind of a

pretty significant departure from that.
