Daniel Bannoura is joined by renowned Bible scholar Mike Bird to discuss, among other things, how the Bible has been mishandled by many Christians to justify support for Israel and turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinians. Mike offers important advice on how to read and interpret the Bible and apply it to the world around us.


Mike Bird (PhD, University of Queensland) is a “biblical theologian”. He believes that the purpose of the church is to “gospelize,” that is to preach, promote, and practice the Gospel-story of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the author of over 30 books, including the award winning volumes The Gospel of Lord: How the Early Church Wrote the Story of Jesus, Evangelical Theology, and with N.T. Wright, The New Testament in its World.
