The Hebrew Bible is now complete, so what's next?

In the mid second century BCE, the people of Judea did the impossible… the ended centuries of foreign rule by expelling the Seleucids and reviving the divine Judean kingship. To celebrate their victory, they wrote stories which pretended to predict t... more

In the aftermath of the fall of Jerusalem the population was lost, bereft of king and temple. Their prosperity and security had been taken from them and family members had been carted away to a distant land. But perhaps worst of all, their own deity ... more

Perhaps no other single book of the Hebrew Bible is as important to the New Testament authors as Zechariah. From it we find the idea of a suffering servant figure, a Davidic savior, one who is pierced through, who enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey ... more

  • ‘Dragons’ continues to amaze

    The analysis and imaginative connections between elements of the Old Testament continue to amaze me. And I’m still working through back episodes, which make up a rich library.

    More fire to your breath.

  • Love it

    I’m Christian in a way that is hard to explain to most Christian’s. More of a gnostic christian I guess. I don’t care about the label, but I have loved this podcast. It’s the FIRST time in my life I have heard unbiased teachings of the Old Testament. This is great. Every Christian should have to listen.

For many years, I was led to believe that all the stuff I read was actually inspired by God, and that I was supposed to follow and practice all that is written on it. Whatever our pastors thought not to be appropriate to practice or was simply contradictory, they simply said „this is all symbolic“. I am happy to have found this podcast, where I can challenge my own underst... more
