In The Room

This week I’m in the room with Kevin Vanhoozer. Dr. Vanhoozer is the Research Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity and co-author of the new book, “The Pastor As Public Theologian”.

In my conversation with Dr. Vanhoozer, we discuss the liabilities of being a Biblical scholar, re-discovering the biblical identity of the pastoral office, and what a day in the life of a theologian looks like.
