Good News! The Bible Disagrees With Itself (#228)

As Dan has wrestled with his understanding of the Bible over the years, one issue has taken center stage in his mind: the multivocality of Scripture. In other words: if we take the Bible as we find it, it becomes clear that voices of biblical writers are in disagreement and conversation with each other, across and even within books of the Bible. And, it turns out, many listeners are also curious about this topic. So what better focus for this conversation with New Testament scholar James F. McGrath. They get fairly nerdy and deep into biblical scholarship on this one, so fair warning!
