Hello, On Scripters. This is Matt Lynch, and I would like to welcome you to yet another episode where we explore new and noteworthy biblical scholarship.

Thank you for the helpful feedback you've given over the last few weeks,

and for all the love and support and care and compassion.

We are enormously grateful.

Matt and I have been busy recording a few really good episodes here,

and I just wanted to remind you

or encourage you to not only ingest good theology, but also to read the books that we're

discussing, because the conversations only scratch the surface.

So often there are huge swaths of the book where I get down the interview and think,

oh, we didn't even talk about that, didn't touch on it, or we could barely get into it. So,

you know, it's like the comparison between watching the trailer for a movie and actually

reading the book that that movie was based on. So you could even start a theology group where every two to three weeks you pick a book

that we've covered and read it as a group, I bet that would stimulate some good discussion. And

if you click through the link we provide on the site, we get a one to two percent kickback. Yes, a one to two percent kickback. And if a bunch of

you pile on and do that, Matt and I might be able to afford a cup of coffee at a real cafe.

And you see, Matt and I drink instant coffee.

And sometimes we even reuse our tea bags just so we can afford to bring you this podcast.

And I doubt Matt would want me to say this, but he's been wearing the same shirt to work for the past year

just so he can cut back on his clothing budget to be able to afford the microphone to record his

podcast on. So, you know, I might be exaggerating a little bit there, but my point is that we would love if some of you could click through the link and if you buy the book, that would be helpful in helping us keep this running.

And keep the reviews coming on iTunes.

Those of you who have, I appreciate that.
