In this new episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma is joined by Dr. Gary Rendsburg.

Dr. Rendsburg is the Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University—renowned in Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish circles for his work in Old Testament linguistics and literary studies.

In their conversation, you’ll discover:

-The value of studying the Bible today, even if you’re not a believer

-Why Judaism was able to survive the destruction of the Temple

-What Catholics should know about Judaism when studying the Bible

-And so much more!

This episode is an excellent overview of the state of academic biblical studies with two of today’s most highly respected Old Testament scholars. Even if you aren’t an academic, you’ll find much to fuel your own biblical studies here.
