In this episode, Dr. James Arcadi and Dr. Michelle Knight interview Dr. K. Lawson Younger, Jr., Professor of Old Testament, Semitic Languages, and Ancient Near Eastern History at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Michelle and James talk to Lawson about his interests—from cats to Arameans, and they learn about his work of integrating humor into his teaching. Finally, Lawson offers a perspective on why (some) evangelicals should strive to operate at the highest levels of the academy.
