Listen to and learn from scholars from diverse backgrounds and cultural experiences who provided exegetical expertise and unique interpretive lenses to The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary (IVP Academic, 2024). 

Too often Bible commentaries have focused on the particular concerns of a limited segment of the church, missing fresh questions and insights that are fruitful for biblical interpretation. Gathering wisdom from a wider range of scholars offers us an opportunity to explore the Bible more deeply and more faithfully as global, multicultural people of faith. This conversation will introduce the book as a whole and engage panelists on insights from the project that relate to preaching and other practices of public worship, including the Lord’s Supper and public prayer.
