Dr. Scot McKnight is a professor, author, golfer. He's also a newly converted Clevland Guardians fan and believes that Michael Jordan (not Lebron James) was the best basketball player of all time. Oh, and Scot is also a world renowned New Testament scholar who's written dozens of books and several commentaries on various books in the New Testament, including his most recent commentary: Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple. This podcast conversation is free flowing. It ranges from technical scholarly issues to baseball to MJ vs. Lebron to politics to a theopolitical reading of the book of Revelation. In short, Babylon is everywhere. And Christians must "come out of her" (Rev 18). Register for the Exiles 2 day conference in Denver (Oct 4-5) here: https://theologyintheraw.com/exiles-denver/

In this episode, I review the forthcoming book (releases Sept 10th): The Widening of God's Mercy by Christopher B. Hays and Richard B. Hays. The book made quite a splash when it was announced last winter, since the book shows how Richard Hays changed his mind about same-sex marriage. He used to believe in traditional marriage, and has published well-known articles and book-chapters on it, but he now believes that God blesses same-sex marriage and this new book shows why. I recieved a pre-released copy of the book and have spent the last few weeks combing through it. This podcast review follows my written review, which you can find here: https://www.centerforfaith.com/blog/review-of-the-widening-of-god-s-mercy-by-christopher-b-hays-and-richard-b-hays
