About This Podcast
Welcome! I'm Daniel Mikkelsen (BA, MPhil (Cantab), Cand.theol.), a PhD candidate in New Testament at the University of Edinburgh. Our podcast exists to make gems from biblical studies accessible to everyday Christians, bridging the gap between scholarly discourse and everyday understanding to enrich your personal walk with God and deepen your love for Him and His Word. We aim to demonstrate how the biblical languages help open up Scripture, fostering a desire to learn these languages to deepen your comprehension and appreciation of the Word of God, as well as your participation in His mission.
