Did you know that scribes made changes to all of the books of the New Testament? Some of them were accidental, but some of them were very deliberate. The gospel of John is no exception - but what was changed, and why?
Atheists often accuse people of religious faith of uncritically accepting a bunch of myths - but do atheists do the same? How closely do people actually examine their dearly-held views and beliefs, regardless of their religious persuasion?
In the gospels, Jesus' suffering is on a sliding scale - from sweating blood, to calmly accepting his fate. What did Jesus think about his own suffering, and is it even possible to answer that question from the evidence we have?
Ever wondered what the first Christian praise and worship service sounded like? Join us as Dr. Charles Cosgrove unveils the mystery of the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, the earliest known Christian hymn with musical notation!

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.
