Good scholarly theology is for me like a good fruit salad.

Start off with some apple juice. That's the biblical knowledge.

Throw in some mango. A bit of mysticism, bit of philosophically, bit of, you know, worldly, what's going on to keep

you grounded. So you don't get too bubbly, a theological scholarly bubble. Then big, big,

big dump of cherries in there, a little bit of sweetness. You know, that's going to be, you know, the science.

And then finish it off with the old grapes.

Hey, OnScript listeners, this is Matt Lynch.

I'm back with a new episode.

And I feel like the world has changed so much since we had our last episode released.

And we're on lockdown here in the UK.

And everything has come to a halt.

So, but we're going to go on with regular programming at OnScript.

And just know that we're thinking about all of you who are listening in and hoping that

you're doing okay and that the podcast provides some something of a distraction or maybe

maybe even some comic relief so here we go with a new episode and we have our friend irvine

shablatsen back on the show for the third time,

and I think you're really going to like this one. Okay, thanks for listening.

Welcome back on script listeners. We've got a very special guest today back for the third time.

We're thrilled to have Professor Irvine Shablatsum with us.
