Description
One of my greatest joys in life is teaching the bible in a way that makes it real to people. There’s no greater thrill for me than seeing a person have that “aha!” moment, when something in Scripture suddenly makes sense. Even after years of teaching, I never get tired of students telling me that something I said made the bible come to life for them. That is my hope for this channel.
I have been a student and a lecturer of New Testament since 2005. I began my studies at what was then called Southern Cross College (now called Alphacrucis University College) in Sydney, Australia. I then went on to do a PhD at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. After completing my doctorate in 2012, I became a full-time lecturer at Alphacrucis, where I have taught ever since.
Apart from my teaching, I have written numerous academic articles and books. I also present papers regularly at international conferences around the world. You can see all of these at my Academia.com page. You can also email me or check out my other stuff on my socials.

What is the Mark of the Beast? What does John refer to with the infamous 666? Is it a bar code? Is it some kind of computer chip? Is it a vaccine? In this week’s video, we are on site in Aphrodisias trying to solve this mystery. We look at the background of the book of Revelation and attempt to locate the meaning of this number in that story. What is this thing that has intrigued generations of Christians? Can it simply be something from the first century? #bible #biblestudy #newtestament Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/I34yXPbzGH0 Connect with me: All my links: https://linktr.ee/thentstorySupport the podcast: https://the-new-testament-story.captivate.fm/supportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thentstory/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087183803192Twitter: https://twitter.com/thentstory My books:Where is the Wise Man?

This is one of the more misquoted verses in the Bible, especially amongst those who preach the Prosperity Gospel. Similarly, “God will supply all your needs” (Phil 4:19).

In this episode, we look at one of the more difficult texts in the NT.
