In this most-requested episode, Associate Professor of New Testament and NC State (and fellow pop-culture nerd!) Dr. Jason Staples joins us in the Dojo to talk about his recent books which are the culmination of 20 years of work on the question of "Israel" and the various ways that concept was defined within 2nd Temple Judaism...as well as how the Apostle Paul uses it in Romans 9-11, which many Christians miss entirely.

Jason’s books, articles, blog, and other podcast appearances, are all available at https://www.jasonstaples.com
