Alastair Roberts
James Bejon joins me for a discussion of our principles and practices when attempting intertextual reading of Scripture, particularly focusing upon the different accounts of the death of Judas in Matthew 27 and Acts 1. James tweeted on this recently: https://twitter.com/JamesBejon/status/1359286462383067146.
