  • A thought-provoking podcast which promotes biblical scholarship

    OnScript has helped open up the world of biblical scholarship to me. There is much groupthink and dogma in biblical studies (particularly from secular scholars). OnScript presents a wide range of viewpoints, including those of Bible-believing scholars, which I appreciate.
