Retelling the Bible
W Scott McAndlessI created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.

Apple Podcasts5King ClefairyUnited States2 years ago - Makes You Think
Thoroughly enjoy this podcast. The author uses an oblique approach in presenting well known Bible passages. At the end of a podcast, I often go “huh, never thought of it that way or never presented that way.”
I don’t have to agree with someone IOT to listen to them. Iron sharpens iron!
Also love the music.
Apple Podcasts5Mighty PriusUnited States2 years ago - Reminded me of why I left the Presbyterian church.
I left the church because I had a Marxist pastor who loved Castro. I knew too many people who were lucky to escape with their life’s from Cuba to sit in church and listen to such garbage.
The first season is interesting but then he goes off trying to twist the Old Testament to fit his Marxist ideology. He must be one of the Christians who believes that the Old Testament is a collection of tales having no value to New Testament Christian’s.
