Episode description
“[When considering the presentation of violence in the Old Testament]… I hope that we can nudge the needle further along, not towards resolution, but toward trust in God's ultimate goodness.” - Matthew Lynch, Flood & Fury
This episode of the podcast is with OT scholar and prolific podcaster Matthew J Lynch. Currently teaching at Regent College in Vancouver and releasing content into the world via the evergreen OnScript & Biblical World podcasts, he and I get into a number of topics (not least of which is the tension between being a “legit academic” and a “legit Christian”). Primarily, though, our chat centers around his most recent book, Flood & Fury: Old Testament Violence & The Shalom Of God, which I hiiiiiighly recommend.
