Gary continues his interview with economist Jerry Bowyer. Many details given in the Gospels are extremely important for a proper interpretation of what Jesus said and did and why. These historical and cultural clues are often overlooked, but they add depth and context to the New Testament that modern readers can and should apply to their reading and preaching of the Gospel.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 88
Gary discusses current Facebook speculation about the war in Iran, Islam, and Ezekiel 39-39. Once again, the popularizers take world events and cram them into a verse or two in the Bible, completely ignoring both the original context and the audience. They claim to interpret the Bible "literally" but stop doing so when the biblical facts don't fit their current scenario.

In this first part of an interview with author Jerry Bowyer, Gary discusses the economic and cultural arena of the first century. The Bible cannot be interpreted properly without a clear understanding of the times and customs of the people and places described in the text. As an example, Jerry helps add clarity to Jesus' words to the rich young ruler.
