Today, we’re not focusing exclusively on the books in the Bible. We’ll be talking about the Apocrypha. How should Christians think about these ancient writings? Today Jason and Tom welcome Brian Tabb to the podcast. Brian is not only the president of Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is also well-versed in the apocrypha. He’s going to help us think about these ancient works. After our all-too short interview with Brian, Jason and Tom conclude the show with some final thoughts. When you’re done listening, be sure to go to our show notes for links to some of Brian Tabb’s work, including his excellent summaries on the Apocrypha in the Dictionary of the New Testament use of the Old Testament.
Brian Tabb has written extremely clear and helpful articles on the apocrypha in the Dictionary of the New Testament Use of the Old Testament. This work is well worth it for access to Tabb's articles alone. But there's a great deal more making this work worth adding to your library. Also, we encourage you to order Tabb's All Things New: Revelation as Canonical Capstone, After Emmaus: How the Church Fulfills the Mission of Christ, and Suffering in Ancient Worldview: Luke, Seneca and 4 Maccabees in Dialogue.
