Episode 133: Bringing The New Testament To Life - With Phillip Cottraux

"The New Testament is the foundational document of the Christian faith. But how much do we really know about these 27 books? To whom were they written, and what were they trying to say? All too often, we treat the Bible with sacred reverence, without examining its historical context. But in doing so, we risk losing its original meaning. Worse, we provide fodder for skeptics ready to pounce on our lack of knowledge of our own holy book. In Bringing the New Testament to Life, author Philip Cottraux seeks to correct that. Armed with years of historical research, Cottraux weaves an easy-to-understand breakdown of scripture with an epic narrative, casting the world that birthed Christianity in a whole new light.” In today’s Cerebral Faith Live episode, I discuss the new book “Bringing The New Testament To Life” with its author Phillip Cottraux.
