Welcome to a bonus episode of season 3 of The Bible Binge. We're swapping things up a bit in this installment by having our Bible Scholar Erin Moon interview Knox about his new book. The Wondering Years releases Tuesday, November 13. Plus, we still have our standard Gentle Rebuke brought to you by Jamie. Through books, television, music, and movies, Knox found many of the answers he was searching for about God and the universe and why we are all here. The Wondering Years is a hilarious look back at the key influences that shaped Knox’s formative years and his faith, a reminder of our own encounters with pop culture that have shaped each of our formative years and continue to influence us today.
