Church vs Universities: Who Gets the New Testament Right?
About this episode
Is there a difference between how the New Testament is taught in church versus a university?
In this episode, New Testament scholar Hugo Mendez joins us to explore the devotional approach to the Bible often found in churches and how it contrasts with the critical, historical methods used in academia.
We discuss what surprises students about studying the New Testament in a classroom setting, whether one approach is 'right,' and how both can offer valuable insights for Christians, skeptics, and truth-seekers alike.
