From Norway and a relatively new listener. I'm in my late 50s and had never heard of Bart. It was probably the algorithms that brought me here and it has been a great experience. Personal Life-saving and fantastically developing for one's own self-esteem. Your books should be bought and read. Starting with the latest one as the title appeals very well. Continue with your fantastic podcast and teaching.
Bravo, bravo, bravo… The Best of the best…

A rigorous, history-first conversation about the Bible, early Christianity, and the formation of Christian tradition. Across episodes, the discussion centers on textual criticism, historical contexts, and how modern readers interpret ancient writings, with guests who bring long-form scholarship to popular audiences.
