Data Over Dogma
Daniel McClellan and Daniel BeecherThis ain't your pastor's Bible podcast. This is a deep interrogation of the book, and we're bringing receipts. Bible scholar Dr. Dan McClellan and atheist podcaster Dan Beecher team up to discover what the Bible actually says, what it decidedly doesn't say (even if everyone thinks it does), and explore the history of the most popular book of all time.

- Wow!
Great podcast, you already know that. BUT I only just found out which Dan is which, and I’m shocked! I honestly thought it was the other way around!

I love this podcast. However, I’ve been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. Seems like a lot more waxing poetic than referencing ACTUAL data. Dan B hasn’t been asking as many questions, and it makes the episodes feel flat.
Love you guys! Please try to regroup and refocus.

Good news for Monte, there is no statute of limitation for criminal offenses in the state of Wyoming. If what she said about her father is true, she can still press charges today and get justice.
Apple Podcasts5Rswholike2drawUnited States2 months ago - I can do this all day!!!
I’m a PK, and attended lots of church growing up and went to a Christian school. I spend hours driving every week and the 2 Dans provide me with interesting information. So much of the Bible that I thought I understood has been explained in a language easy to understand. Dan & Dan are not merely skeptics, they are subject matter experts and very amusing as well!
Apple Podcasts5gnozeaUnited States2 months ago - A New Significance.
Hearing the Bible analyzed and discussed like this highlights its importance in shaping our culture and our history. It also has made me realize what a truly poignant story it tells (particularly the Hebrew Bible) - a story about how a people defines itself after losing the institutions that give it identity. It’s a story about adaptation and survival at any cost.
You don’t have to be a believer to get something powerful out of the Bible when it’s presented the way the Dans do it.
