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.

- Taking Issue
Your Taking issue segment this week was answering the question about whether America was founded as a Christian nation. I really enjoyed this segment. It went further than combating the spread of misinformation about the Bible and got into misinformation about this history of our nation which is also very relevant and timely. Well received by this weekly listener! Thanks Dans!

It is so very seldom that you find two people who are not only extremely knowledgeable, educationally competent but also very entertaining to listen to. It is hard to find easily accessible resources pertaining to bible studies, especially if you are looking for a rational and academic approach. Thank you very much and please continue your work :)
