In this episode, we welcome Doug O’Donnell to the show. He is the Senior Vice President of Bible Editorial at Crossway. Additionally, he is the author and editor of over a dozen books, including The Beginning and End of Wisdom, The Pastor’s Book, The Song of Solomon and Matthew in the Preaching the Word commentary series, and Psalms in the Knowing the Bible series.

In this interview, we discuss how we can trust the transmission of the biblical texts to modernity, why not having the original biblical manuscripts is not as big of a deal as it may seem, how the biblical canon was determined, ways that men can study the bible more, how the English Standard Version of the bible was made, how churches can do a better job of discipling men, upcoming Crossway projects including a children’s bible, and much more.
