Summary
Dr. James McGrath wrote the book, A to Z of the New Testament: Things Experts Know That Everyone Else Should Too, to help lay people with information about the NT from the cultural context. Tim and Dr. McGrath discuss the benefits that help us understand details that put scripture in context.
Takeaway
The Nativity was about a spare room in Middle Eastern hospitality culture not in a barn
The Birth of Jesus isn’t about Jesus having a human mother and divine Father
Salvation is complex
Sexuality within the Bible is difficult to compare to modern views of sexuality
