Summary

Dr. Scot McKnight is a professor, author, golfer. He's also a newly converted Clevland Guardians fan and believes that Michael Jordan (not Lebron James) was the best basketball player of all time. Oh, and Scot is also a world renowned New Testament scholar who's written dozens of books and several commentaries on various books in the New Testament, including his most recent commentary: Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple. This podcast conversation is free flowing. It ranges from technical scholarly issues to baseball to MJ vs. Lebron to politics to a theopolitical reading of the book of Revelation. In short, Babylon is everywhere. And Christians must "come out of her" (Rev 18).
