Too often Bible commentaries have focused on the particular concerns of a limited segment of the church, missing fresh questions and insights that are fruitful for biblical interpretation. Gathering wisdom from a wider range of scholars offers us an opportunity to explore the Bible more deeply and more faithfully as global, multicultural people of faith. This conversation will introduce the book as a whole and engage panelists on insights from the project that relate to preaching and other practices of public worship, including the Lord’s Supper and public prayer.
Listen to and learn from scholars from diverse backgrounds and cultural experiences who provided exegetical expertise and unique interpretive lenses to The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary (IVP Academic, 2024).
