In this episode, Dr. Marcus Mininger, Professor of New Testament Studies, looks at the world of biblical interpretation, specifically examining preterist interpretations of the book of Hebrews. His discussion centers around a key question that has intrigued scholars for centuries: Was the Book of Hebrews written before or after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD? Perhaps more importantly, he'll explore whether this dating question is as crucial to understanding Hebrews as some might think. Dr. Mininger begins by examining evidence of Roman persecution in the early church and what it might tell us about when Hebrews was written.
