My Interview with Michael Halcomb

Today Michael Halcomb of GlossaHouse released on his podcast Provetext an interview he did with me a few weeks ago. See the video below. The episode is called "Making the Bible & Understanding the Septuagint: An Interview with Dr. Edmon Gallagher." The first several minutes we talk about personal stuff—family, educational background, etc.—but then we start talking about academic stuff at about the 7-min. mark. The whole episode is about 73 minutes. 

At about the 14-min mark, we start talking about the definition of "Septuagint," which is something about which I have a forthcoming academic article. Maybe I'll have more to say about that article later. 

We also talk about the use of κύριος in the LXX and its application to Jesus in the New Testament, and  whether Paul quoted the LXX. At about 27:30, we transition to talking about canon lists, and we stick to the topic of the biblical canon for the rest of the episode. About 15 minutes from the end, I mention another book I'm writing on the biblical canon, and then it comes up again at the very end of the podcast, where I mention that I am about to submit the manuscript to the publisher. I can now report that I did submit the manuscript, and it has now (just yesterday) been approved for publication. So now I'm making a few other little tweaks and will submit the completed and approved manuscript in the coming days.
