You Tube Theology

I had the privilege of chatting with New Testament Professor Darrell Bock. In particular I wanted to ask Dr. Bock about cultural engagement (a topic he has written on and taught on extensively), and how he thinks the western church is doing at engaging with and speaking gospel truth into the culture.

Dr. Darrell Bock serves as the executive director of Cultural Engagement at the Hendricks Center and as the senior research professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is the author of many books, including How Would Jesus Vote?: Do Your Political Views Really Align With The Bible? (Howard Books, 2016) and Cultural Intelligence: Living for God in a Diverse, Pluralistic World (B&H Academic, 2020). Dr. Bock holds a Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen.
