SHOW NOTES

Dr. Robert Mayer from Gordon-Conwell is our guest today. Steve and Bob discuss how the Bible has become a club which we have weaponized to beat one another up with these days. We quote a Scripture; use a Bible verse to prove our point and to establish a basis of believing rather than accepting the Bible as a book of rescue stories.

Bob explains that the Bible is a book of rescue stories. Stories --that help us in our own rescue to come home.

Thanks for joining us today in this timely Conversation.

Special Guest Dr. Robert Mayer

Dr. Mayer joined Gordon-Conwell in 1997 as Senior Librarian and Director of the Gordon-Conwell libraries, and Director of the Harold Lindsell Library at the Charlotte campus.

Dr. Mayer’s scholarly interests include American church history, Advent Christian Church history and theology, and 20th century American evangelicalism - with a B.S. at the University of San Francisco; M.A. at Fuller Theological Seminary; D.Min. at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and an MLIS at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

He enjoys visiting historical sites, which he does often with his wife, Renee, and has been an avid supporter of the San Francisco 49ers football team since he was nine. His other personal interests include collecting campaign buttons (of which he has over 70) and attending concerts and the theater.
