Welcome back to season five of Enter the Bible, a podcast in which we share “Everything You Wanted to Know about the Bible…but were afraid to ask.”
In episode 17 of season 5, our hosts are joined by Love Sechrest. Sechrest is Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Columbia Theological Seminary and was previously an associate professor of the New Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.
Today our theologians will be answering the listener-submitted question, “What Did Jesus Have to Say about Race/Ethnicity? (Part 2)”
