From Christian-Hater to CHT Co-Founder—Changed by Reading the Bible
Episode Summary
How does the intellectual world of the Bible connect to modern-day issues for the Middle East and Christianity in the region? How can Christians begin reading scripture with respect for not only the New Testament but also the Hebrew Bible?
In this episode, Robert Nicholson joins Dr. Dru Johnson to discuss the Philos Project, the CHT, persecution in the Middle East, and the transformative impact of reading the Hebrew Bible. Robert discusses how reading the Bible first as a narrative helped him move from antagonism towards Christians to being deeply impacted by the message of Scripture and the Church. He then discusses his work with the Philos Project, an organization which he founded and runs. The Philos Project aims to advocate for and educate people about the history, culture, and current events within the Middle East. Robert also talks about Christian persecution in the Middle East, and the role of the CHT in helping people understand the Christian mission in the region.
