I am an Old Testament scholar who thinks Deuteronomy is the best book of the Bible. I lived and taught in Israel/Palestine, and I continue to lead educational trips there to engage the context of the Bible. In fact, I love context so much that I have a podcast called Context Matters that engages the Bible and how we in a modern context engage the Bible. I love traveling and meeting other parts of the body of Christ around the world.
