Tired of the same predictable Bible interviews?
This is not that.
In this brand-new series, Face to Face on the Bible, two world-renowned scholars meet face to face to debate, challenge, and explore some of the most fascinating questions in biblical studies.
In this sneak peek from our first episode, Dr. Bart D. Ehrman and Dr. Mark Goodacre go head-to-head on one of the hottest scholarly debates:
👉 Did the author of John know the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke)?
It’s 30 minutes of sharp insights, friendly disagreement, and genuine “Bible nerd” banter. It's like watching two scholars talking shop like old friends over a drink.
