Rikk Watts served as Professor of New Testament at Regent College from 1996 to 2016. His areas of speciality include the Gospels, the book of Isaiah, and the way the New Testament uses the Old Testament. Rikk joined me today to talk about his journey from Aeronautical Engineer to Biblical Scholar, and to promote his upcoming summer course on the Gospel of Mark. Rikk explains why Mark is worth studying, what it means to follow Jesus as Lord in today's world, and how the gospel has shaped and continues to shape western culture.
