Description
This episode will focus on two items of biblical theology that are controversial in biblical study:
How the New Testament writers / apostles quoted the Old Testament
The meaning of Acts 2:38

Neglecting this simple exercise stunts one’s understanding of biblical theology, and leads to interpretations that are often out of context and idiosyncratic.

However, it is the angel th by The Naked Bible Podcast
