NEW INTERVIEW: We had the honor of sitting down wi NEW INTERVIEW: We had the honor of sitting down with T. Desmond Alexander in connection with his book “From Eden to the New Jerusalem: An Introduction to Biblical Theology” (Kregel Academic & Professional). Swipe right to see the questions we asked him.

He slept, cried, got sick, had a favorite dinner, had a hobby, had a best friend, danced, etc. I thank God for this second Adam, who really is like me.

I’m encouraged by seeing this reality visually, a million mahalos to @matthew_kaemingk (author of one of the most important books of the last 10 years - “Work and Worship: Reconnecting Out Labor and Liturgy”) for making me aware of the art (features here) of Ade Bethune
