Janette Ok - On Reading the New Testament in Color

What are we missing when we fail to (or are afraid to?) bring our full ethnic, cultural selves in reading the Bible? A lot, actually, because God meets us in the concreteness of a person whose meaning is fully formed in a particular time and culture.

Dr. Janette Ok is a professor of New Testament at Fuller Seminary, a preacher, and the co-author of New Testament in Color (IVP). Vania Gomez and Jin Cho have an encouraging and important conversation with Janette, on having early gender and cultural role models; how owning our own authentic ethnic/cultural identities is a gift to the church; and how justice at a defining characteristic of God is a divine imperative for God's people.
