You Tube Theology

What does Scripture say about engaging those who do not share my faith? How do I participate in difficult conversations? How do I actually interact with someone whose ideas are different from mine? Cultural Intelligence uses Scripture and the example of Paul to put you in a better position to live with the pluralism we all face.

Dr. Darrell Bock is the executive director of cultural engagement and senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is the author of over 40 books, including well-regarded commentaries on Luke and Acts and studies of the historical Jesus, and work in cultural engagement as host of the seminary's Table Podcasts.
