The podcast formerly known as GEOCACHING SCRIPTURE, now known as Nerds in the Word takes a gander at one of the stranger conversations Jesus has. He sees a Gentile woman and says, essentially, "What up dog?" Why would Jesus address her with this common ethnic slur? What does this conversation mean? We go into linguistic background, we go into ethnic context, we go into the Targum because why not and try to get to the bottom of this one. We also announce our new name, new look, same old geeks. The interrupting cow makes a brief appearance, followed by the interrupting sloth.
