Next week is Theology Beer Camp, and almost all of the speakers have been on the podcast multiple times except my friend and New Testament scholar Jennifer Bashaw. Well, let’s fix that! In this convo, we discuss her new book Scapegoats: The Gospel through the Eyes of Victims and her plans for karaoke Thursday night. Enjoy:) Jennifer Garcia Bashaw is assistant professor of New Testament and Christian ministry at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. She is an ordained minister and has served a variety of Baptist churches and ministries across the country. Follow the podcast, drop a review, or become a member of the HBC Community.

Both Tom Oord and Andrew Davis will be at Theology Beer Camp and an upcoming event in Napa, CA – Power & the God of Love. Andrew M. Davis is a philosopher, theologian and scholar of world religions. He is Program Director for the Center for Process Studies at Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University. A native of northern California, he was born and raised among the towering redwoods of Occidental and the meandering woodlands of Santa Rosa’s Bennett Valley.
