I had the privilege of chatting with New Testament Professor Darrell Bock. In particular I wanted to ask Dr. Bock about cultural engagement (a topic he has written on and taught on extensively), and how he thinks the western church is doing at engaging with and speaking gospel truth into the culture. Dr. Darrell Bock serves as the executive director of Cultural Engagement at the Hendricks Center and as the senior research professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is the author of many books, including How Would Jesus Vote?: Do Your Political Views Really Align With The Bible? (Howard Books, 2016) and Cultural Intelligence: Living for God in a Diverse, Pluralistic World (B&H Academic, 2020). Dr. Bock holds a Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen.

Auch wenn es mittlerweile auf YouTube Kanälen und Social Media sehr präsent ist und viele Yoga zum Ausgleich oder für die Gesundheit machen, wird es gerade in konservativ-christlichen Kreisen doch eher kritisch, esoterisch oder verführerisch gesehen. Und so bleibt für gläubige Menschen manchmal die Frage: Welche Rolle spielt eigentlich der Körper in meinem Glauben? Wie kann ich Yoga als Ausdrucks meines Glaubens nutzen? Diese Frage habe ich Kathi Mutzbauer gestellt. Sie ist angehende Pfarrerin und Yogalehrerin – eine perfekte Gesprächspartnerin, um über das Zusammenspiel von Yoga, Körper und Beten zu sprechen.

* One of RSR's Most Important Programs EVER! Biblical archaeologist Dr. Steven Collins has been convincing a lot of secular archaeologists that the ruins of Sodom are located exactly where Genesis 13 locates that historical city. On Real Science Radio today Collins adds great corroboration to our previous interview with Dr. Phillip Silvia about the major Bronze Age city at this location. In the time of Abraham, everything above ground in this city of Sodom was obliterated in an explosive aerial burst of intense heat that demolished the buildings exploding countless clay pots and melting many portions of the resulting potsherds into glass. The catastrophe left the richly arable land salt saturated and non-arable and abandoned for the next five centuries. * City Discovered! Dr. Collins' Discovering the City of Sodom, published by Simon & Schuster's Howard Books, gets accolades from the director of the archaeological dig at Gath in the West Bank, Aren Maeir, from the archaeological architect of the digs at the Western Wall and Southern Wall of the Temple Mount and the Jewish Quarter Excavations of the Old City of Jerusalem Leen Ritmeyer, and the University of Liverpool emeritus professor of Hebrew and Ancient Semitic Languages Alan Millard. Want to visit the ruins of Sodom? You can spend time on the dig site at the ruins of Sodom for a couple days or longer in January, February, and March 2021. Just click on over to digsodom.com to support or even to get involved with Dr. Collin's excavation! Today's BEL Resource: Many in our science audience have never noticed our Government Department in our KGOV Store. There, we are featuring our classic God's Criminal Justice System seminar and our important videos God and the Death Penalty, Live from Las Vegas, and Bob on Drugs DVDs, and our powerhouse Focus on the Strategy resources! It's a bit different to promote these to an RSR listener, but of course, we all should be versed on such vital matters! * Also from Real Science Radio: from rsr.org/archaeology see... - rsr.org/sodom (2020 and 2018 with Dr. Silvia) - rsr.org/camels - rsr.org/exodus - rsr.org/pharaoh - rsr.org/jericho - rsr.org/flood - Patterns of Evidence.

 Welcome to the eighth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast  - Constant and New Listeners! In this installment, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Tosca Lee drops in for a chat. New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee's second novel in the House of Bathory duology, Firstborn (the highly anticipated sequel to IndieBound bestseller The Progeny), is now available in trade paperback from Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. The Progeny released May 2016 to outstanding reviews calling it “irresistible”(Publishers Weekly), “suspenseful” and “entertaining” (Booklist) with a jaw-dropping ending that had early readers clamoring for the sequel before The Progeny even released. Called “The Queen of psychological twists” by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes, Lee has previously been best known for her historical novels (including Gold Medallion winner Iscariot) and evocative prose. While Lee's trademark research remains in evidence, the House of Bathory duology, with its high octane pacing, represents a new direction for the author—one enthusiastically embraced by readers and Hollywood, both. The books are in development as a dramatic television series by Radar Pictures and Ed Burns' Marlboro Road Gang, as first reported by Deadline Hollywood: http://bit.ly/2wsinqY.
