Hey everyone, quick note here that we're cross-listening this episode from our other podcast,

The Biblical World, because we have a new co-host over there, Jason Staples, who's been a guest

on On Script before, and he's deeply familiar with New Testament background and context,

so he's a great addition to that Biblical World team, and we hope you enjoy this first episode of

his.

Welcome to OnScript's Biblical World, a podcast exploring the history, archaeology, geography, and cultures of the Bible.

Hey, everyone.

Welcome back to the Biblical World podcast.

This is My Lange coming to you from Regent College in Vancouver. We have a big announcement here. Jason Staples is joining us as

co-host, and you may have heard him recently on OnScript. We've done a two-part episode on his

book, his recent book, and we are just thrilled to bring in someone with New Testament

expertise to help dig into the culture, history, context, archaeology, geography of

the New Testament. So he's a seasoned podcaster in the sports world, actually, and he is also a fantastic biblical scholar and knows the background of the Bible very well.

And we'll bring a lot to the podcast.

So we're really thrilled to have him on and this is his inaugural episode with us interviewing Jodi Magnus.

So we're thrilled to have Jason Staples as a co-host now. So

make sure to show him your appreciation by sharing this episode and letting him know that you're

glad he's part of this team now. All right, without further ado, enjoy this episode.

So I am joined, very happy to be joined by Jody Magnus, the Keenan Distinguished Professor

for Teaching Excellence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, my PhD alma mater,

of course.
