#54 Faith and Old Testament historicity - with Prof. Hugh Williamson

Written By Austin Stevenson

Austin and Barney interview Professor Emeritus Hugh Williamson of Oxford University on how his faith relates to historical enquiry about the Old Testament. We discuss questions like:

  • How does Prof. Williamson hold together his identity as a scholar and his faith as a Christian? Does he ever see a conflict between them?

  • What does the historical study of the Bible do for one's faith?

  • What historical events in the Bible does Christian faith depend on?

Thanks, as always, to Jamie Maule for his sound editing!
