Chapter One, Verse Three (1:3) [Mea Culpa: My apologies that during part of this episode my microphone makes a scratching sound when it comes in contact with my seatbelt. The person responsible (me) has been severely reprimanded. The conversation was so good we had to keep it!]

My guest for this episode is my good friend Dr. Bryan Dyer, NT scholar and academic editor extraordinaire at Baker Academic.

Bryan earned his PhD from McMaster Divinity College and has recently published his dissertation on suffering in the Book of Hebrews in the LNTS series.

In this episode Bryan and I discuss his academic work, why he named his first car Toby Mac, and most importantly, the moment when I break the news to him that his book has been wrongly classified by the Library of Congress. I’ve worked closely with Bryan as my editor at Baker for several years and I love spending time with him.

Thanks for tuning in!
