The 10 November 2019 edition of the Interpreter Radio Show featured\u00a0Terry Hutchinson, John Gee, and Kevin Christensen. The first hour of their discussion covered the textual history of biblical manuscripts. In the second hour, they had a roundtable conversation about the upcoming\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0lesson #47 on 1\u20133 John and Jude. \u00a0The entire program is available at no charge and with all commercial and other interruptions removed on the website of the Interpreter Foundation:<\/p>\n

This is really pretty remarkable. \u00a0It\u2019s fascinating to learn that Brigham Young University has actually served as an aspirational model for Reverend Falwell\u2019s school. \u00a0I wonder, though, whether everybody at Liberty University would concur that the recent BYU-Liberty game was really a contest between two \u201cChristian schools.\u201d \u00a0But it was nice that they prayed together after the game. \u00a0That\u2019s not exactly common, I should think:<\/p>\n
