ReligionProf Podcast with Tripp Fuller
In this episode Tripp Fuller and I have a conversation about his most recent book, Divine Self-Investment: An Open and Relational Constructive Christology, as well as the broader themes of Christology and historical Jesus research that his book engages with, at the intersection of his work as a theologian and mine as a New Testament scholar.

ReligionProf Podcast with the Hosea Filmmakers
In this episode Dr. James F. McGrath talks with film producers Avril Z. Speaks and Suzanne Watson and writer/director Ryan Daniel Dobson about their new movie Hosea, which explores how the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible might unfold in a modern-day setting, and told from the female protagonist's perspective. It is a powerful and provocative movie that you'll want to see, and once you've done so (since the podcast contains spoilers) or if you need persuading to do so, you will definitely want to listen to this behind-the-scenes look at the movie through the lens of the creative team behind it in conversation with a professor who teaches biblical studies.

We also talk about a range of related topics, from forgeries and fan fiction ancient and modern, to why the field of Christian Apocrypha is one that lots of academics ought to contribute to and that, in particular, those now considering pursuing PhDs ought to consider focusing on.

ReligionProf Podcast with Matthew Korpman
How can a book called Saying No To God be an expression of a Christian perspective? Because, as Korpman and I discuss in this double-length episode, this is precisely the stance that a number of biblical as well as post-biblical Jewish and Christian stories depict those faithful to God as adopting, and for which they are praised.
