Off-Script Episode #8 - How to read the Bible with Dr. Jeff Rankin (Pt. 1)

Listen Later

In a special episode of the Off-Script podcast, Robert was joined by Dr. Rankin of the Christian Studies department at North Greenville University. During their conversation they discussed several topics relating to how to study the Word, including studying hard OT passages and life application. This was such a great conversation that we had to split it into two parts, so check back in next week for the conclusion of this informative episode!
