- Love it, but has strayed a bit
I love loooove this podcast! I certainly miss Dave but more importantly, this latest season has strayed from biblical scholarship into general ancient history. Please don’t be afraid to talk about a subject previously covered, but with a different scholar! I still am here to beat the dead horse of biblical scholarship, not ancient history in general. Love you guys!

Really addictive and so revealing. Some times you get some dodgy pseudo-neutrality, like the episode on Collosians, where the guest seems to have a very un-neutral approach to the concept of ‘forged’.

I love this show. I have a background in biblical studies / religious studies and I teach theology at a Catholic school. This show keeps up me up on the latest research on the field. The hosts are knowledgeable and delightful. They have a great camaraderie and are a joy to listen to.

I heard Helen on "The Ancients" podcast and thought she as brilliant. I was thrilled when she said she had her own podcast and I am not disappointed! I love learning about the bible as history and looking at the society and people that built the stories so many people live by.
