Hey, everybody.

Welcome back to Onscript.

This is Matt Lynch coming to you from Regent College in Vancouver.

I'm not going to give a long intro, but I do want to say special thank you to Ed Hackkey,

who is nearing the end of his time with OnScript after having produced, who knows how many episodes,

I think it's over 200.

So, Ed, we're going to miss you. You're not gone yet,

but it will be at the end of the summer. We've got a new team coming on to replace that. It takes

a team to do that. And we're grateful for those who are going to be involved in that. But I just want to

express that appreciation here. So without further ado, enjoy this episode.

Welcome on script listeners.

I am here with the Reverend Dr. Mark Scarlata, who is a tutor and a lecture in Old Testament

Studies at St. Miletus College in London.

And Mark is also a vicar chaplain at St. Edward King and Martyr, Cambridge, where he serves

as the priest as one of the oldest churches in Cambridge.

That was also integral to the English Reformation.

Mark is married to Bettinaina and they have three kids.

Let me list off all your books here, Mark, before we get going, because you are quite prolific, and we're going to have to talk at some point how you're doing this as both a lecturer and a full-time priest.
