Description
We're decolonizing the New Testament chapter-by-chapter, through an original translation committed to faithfulness to the text, trauma-informed analysis, God always looking like Jesus, avoiding religious technical language, belovedness and belonging, and reading with the oppressed.
Hosts: Brandon Rhodes (D.Min) and Brandon Vélez-Johnson
