Talking scholarship and church with Heather Preston

I was recently interviewed by Heather Preston, who has a ministry called The Bible Research Library, seeking to make good biblical scholarship accessible to pastors and laypeople. We connected during the SBL meeting in Boston last November, and then spoke online. Here’s her description of what they’re doing:

Our nonprofit is dedicated to providing high-quality, academically rigorous Bible study resources. We aim to equip pastors and educators with the tools they need to teach scripture with clarity and confidence.

Here’s a link to the interview, where we focused on my scholarship and my concerns to serve both the academy and the church in my research and writing. It’s about 54 minutes, so make a drink and settle down to listen! Thoughts, questions and comments are most welcome.
