Getting the Blues
Dr. Stephen Nichols, research professor of Christianity and culture at Lancaster Bible College, joins the Christ the Center panel for an interesting discussion about his new book, Getting the Blues.

Even though Nichols has long forgotten me, it is nice that I can say I was a former student (before and after he received his Ph.D.).
