You're listening to Faith for Normal People, the only other God-ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete Ends.

And I'm Jared Bias.

Hey folks, it's me Pete.

Before we get started with our episode today, I want to bug you with some info about our May class.

Now, I know you've been hearing a lot about our classes, but bear with me because this class is going to be the best yet,

because I'm the one teaching it.

It's called the history of biblical interpretation and it's happening live on May 31st from 8 to 9 30 pm Eastern time.

And it's a one night class serving the seven stages of interpretation from second temple Judaism to post-modernity,

which I am so excited to teach about.

So it's pay what you can until the class ends and then it costs $25 to download.

And if you want to access this class and future classes, yes, past and future,

you can get that for 12 bucks a month through our community, the society of normal people.

And for more information and to sign up for the class, go to thebiblefornormalpeople.com forward slash interpretation.
