Welcome to the NT Pod

The NT Pod is my new podcast about the New Testament and Christian origins. Each episode is only 5-6 minutes long so it is easy to fit into your busy life. It is free to download, and I am planning to release an episode every week or so.

You can subscribe here.

Please leave your feedback -- I am keen to hear your thoughts on the NT Pod (though anonymous, abusive and inappropriate comments will be deleted).
