Andreas Köstenberger Interview – Ep. 124 – Andreas Köstenberger Interview

Cave To The Cross Apologetics

He’s Written On Everything!

We are beyond delighted and honored to sit down and interview Andreas Köstenberger. Dr. Köstenberger was a co-author in one of our recent chosen books, “Truth In A Culture Of Doubt” which was a response to many of Bart Ehrman’s writings and showing that Christianity provides answers to the critical historians’ claims. Dr. Köstenberger is also a prolific author of over 50 books. We talk about his work ethic, his life, and where he sees the direction of Christian scholarship going. I don’t know how we sat still for this interview!
