You're listening to the Bible for normal people, the only God-ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete N's. And I'm Jared Baez.

Hey, everybody, it's time to tell you about the last class in our fall,

24th semester on the New Testament. It's called Get a Grip on the Epistles,

understanding the New Testament letters, and it's taught by our very own nerd in residence, Dr. Jennifer Garcia-Bashaw.

Now, the epistles are among the most challenging genres in the New Testament for modern readers

to understand. These letters are often fragments of larger discussions we don't fully see, written within

specific purposes and cultural contexts that can seem foreign or confusing or just bewildering to us

understanding of the broader context they were addressing.

So in this class, Dr. Jennifer Garcia-Bashaw provides invaluable tools and insights to help

us navigate these complexities and better grasp the meaning of the epistles in their original

setting and their relevance for contemporary readers.

This class is pay what you can until November 15th, then it'll cost $25.

But no matter when you purchase, you'll get access to watch the class right away,

and it even comes with a study guide to help you follow along.

There's also a live Q&A on November 20th at 8 p.m. during which Jennifer will answer questions about all three of our fall classes. As always, folks, members of our online community,

the Society of Normal People, get access to this class at all of our other classes, past and

future for just $12 a month. For more information, and to sign up for this class, head to

Bible for normal people, we're doing something really different and, dare I say, pleasantly

crowded. On the podcast today, I've got three of our nerds and residents, and we're
