OnScript Podcast Recording at Nashotah House
July 27, 2021
You may RSVP here.
Nashotah House and OnScript invite you to a live podcast event with Dr. Dru Johnson (The King’s College, NYC). They will be discussing his newest book Biblical Philosophy: A Hebraic Approach to the Old and New Testaments (Cambridge, 2021). Enjoy discussion, food, and drinks together! Please RSVP for this FREE event.
“It's always a highlight to collaborate with Nashotah House for live OnScript podcast recordings,” said Matt Lynch, OnScript co-host and assistant professor of Old Testament at Regent College and adjunct professor of Old Testament at Nashotah House.
“This year we'll have OnScript co-host Dru Johnson joining us to discuss his new book. Dru argues that the Old Testament (and by consequence the New Testament) offers a way of doing philosophy that is distinct in its time and that differs in important ways from other philosophical traditions that follow. The consequences of taking this view are substantial, and I look forward to discussing it with Dru and all who join us!”
