When we read the book of Proverbs, it's like having a conversation with Jesus in a counselor's office, and he not only loves us, Nancy, he understands us. Thank you. Welcome to Help me teach the Bible.

And this is the podcast for people who love to study the Bible.

And we study the Bible, not just because we want to hear the voice of God speaking to us through His Word, which he has promised to do. We study the Bible because we also

Thank you for letting me be involved.

It's great to see you again.

So Ray has a bachelor's degree from Wheaton College, THM from Dallas Theological Seminary.

Then you spent some time in Aberdeen getting your Ph.D.

You have taught the Bible to Bible teachers a lot. You're a professor of Old Testament and Semitic

languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for about nine or ten years.
