About this episode
Dr. Bryan Murawski discusses how to effectively teach difficult passages of the New Testament.
Because all of Scripture is divinely inspired, all of it holds promise for the edification of God's people. But it’s not always clear how that’s so. What are we to gain, aside from historical knowledge from genealogies, for example? That's just one kind of biblical text that challenge Bible teachers. Pastor and Cairn University Professor Dr. Bryan Murawski, wrote his book Preaching and Teaching Difficult Texts of the New Testament , a follow-up to his _Preaching Difficult Texts of the Old Testamen_t, to help those who teach the Scriptures know how to more effectively and accurately teach passages that are hard for a variety of reasons. He joined Dr. Keith Plummer to talk about some of the ideas he shares in these books. Whether you’re a pastor, Bible study leader, parent, or someone who simply wants to get the most out of your Bible reading, there’s something for you here. Let’s join their conversation now.
