Episode 42
In this episode, we sit down with Bob Yarbrough to discuss contrasting approaches to biblical interpretation today: elitism vs. populism. The former has encouraged many to abandon the Christian heritage; the latter has informed the largest numeric increase of professing Christians in world history. He addresses this issue in his book Clash of Visions published by Christian Focus.
