    202. Brandon Crowe on The Hope of Israel: The Resurrection of Christ in Acts
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode, we welcome Dr. Brandon Crowe to discuss his book The Hope of Israel: The Resurrection of Christ in The Acts of the Apostles. What is the Acts of the Apostles, and what is its unique place in the New Testament? To what degree, and in what manner should we view the events of Acts as either historically-unique versus programmatic and meant to be emulated going forward? What were the views of resurrection in the world of Acts, and how would Jesus’ Resurrection stand out as unique? How did witnessing the Resurrection of Christ function when it comes to the authority of the apostles? How was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost a Christological point? In both the narrative of Acts, as well as the sermons documented therein – the Resurrection functions as the key to understanding Jesus as “both Lord and Christ”, the blessings of the last days, as well as a fulfillment of the Old Testament passages such as Psalm 2. Listen in as, along the way, we ask Dr. Crowe what Peter was referring to when he speaks of “the restoration of all things”, if the Paul presented in Acts is consistent with his own Epistles, and the place of the Temple in the theology of Luke-Acts.

    201. Lydia McGrew on the Historical Reliability of the Acts of the Apostles
    Jan 19 2026
    In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Lydia McGrew to discuss the historical reliability of The Acts of the Apostles. What is the book of Acts, and what is its genre? Is there evidence of dependence upon Josephus that necessitates a late date of composition? Is there evidence, both external and internal, of the reliability of the text? Listen in as Lydia takes us through several examples of undesigned coincidences that evince a natural fit of Acts in its time and place, and bring great insight into in our understanding of Paul’s missions and the dating of the composition of his letters. We also ask about the reliability within Acts of the speeches, even given the obvious fact that ancient people don’t have tape recorders. What do skeptics/cynics like Bart Ehrman think about Acts, and why are they wrong? In the end, we ask Lydia about what is at stake for Christianity when it comes to the reliability of the Acts of the Apostles, and why people should care.Book: Hidden in Plain View: Undesigned Coincidences in the Gospels and ActsDr. McGrew’s Website; YouTube Channel; Podcast (also Podcast archive up to October 2024)Also: Reliability of Acts Playlist “Arguments from Silence: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly”Other important books by Dr. McGrew:Testimonies to the Truth: Why You Can Trust the GospelsThe Mirror or the Mask: Liberating the Gospels from Literary DevicesThe Eye of the Beholder: The Gospel of John as Historical ReportageAlso check out our previous interview here: The Historical Reliability of the Gospel of John; The Historical Reliability of the Christmas Story; The Historical Reliability of the Easter StoryOther resources:The Book of Acts in the Setting of Hellenistic History by Colin J.

  • 200. J. Daniel Hays on Race and the Bible

    200. J. Daniel Hays on Race and the Bible
    Jan 12 2026
    In this episode, we welcome Dr. J. Daniel Hays to discuss his book From every People and Nation: A Biblical Theology of Race. Starting with “the multi-ethnic, non-Caucasian cultural context of the Old Testament”, we start with focusing in on an important example: the Kingdom of Cush. Who were the Cushites, and what is some of their key place in history, and the text of Scripture? Why are they key for both identifying blatant past prejudice when it comes to “cultural pre-understanding”, and positively understanding what the Bible teaches about race? Contrary to both white supremacists and the claims coming from groups like the Nation of Islam - far from being artificially imported into the Biblical story, Black Africans have been there even prior to the calling of Abraham. With this, we approach the question of the so-called “Curse of Ham” in Genesis 9, what Dr. Hays calls “one of the most serious and most damaging misinterpretations of Scripture”, and we ask both what the text actually teaches and why it is preposterous to think of this as anything race-based (let alone dealing with black and white skin). Far from a race-based curse of servitude, the descendants of Ham listed in Genesis 10 (including Cushites) historically dominated the Ancient Near East for millennia, and the Kingdom of Cush prospered even well into the Christian period. Who was Moses’ wife, as documented in Numbers 12 - and did this conform or contradict what God revealed through Moses about intermarriage in Exodus and Deuteronomy? What is significant about the Ethiopian Eunuch documented in Acts 8 – and why is it significant for understanding the call of the Gospel that will bless all nations, peoples, and even races. What does Jesus’ teachings involving Samaritans have to teach us about healing centuries of racial strife and prejudice today? Listen in as Dr. Hays helps us see the big picture of the Bible’s teachings on “the nations” – including the deep connection between the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, and that holy vision of the apostle John in Revelation 5; a vision about our receiving the blessed kingdom of racial unity around the worship of the Lamb who conquered sin and death.Book: From Every People and Nation: A Biblical Theology of RaceSome other resources by Dr. Hays:- The Temple and the Tabernacle: A Study of God’s Dwelling Places from Genesis to Revelation- The Pentateuch: Life in the Presence of Godliness- The Ichthus Christogram and Other Early Christian SymbolsOther resources:The Bible and Race by T.
