45:22

The Sermon on the Mount is probably one of the best-known speeches of Jesus, and if you’ve spent any time in a church service, then the odds are that you’ve heard at least part of it.

15d ago46:17

46:17

If you have a passing familiarity with the Christian Bible, then you probably know that it’s split into two parts - the Old and New Testaments.

One God Among Many: Rethinking the God of the Bible 42:05

22d ago42:05

42:05

In the modern Western world, monotheism is the rule, rather than the exception. Not so in the ancient past, where many cultures worshipped whole pantheons of gods, each one responsible for specific areas of the mortal experience. How does the one god of Israel compare to this myriad of deities, and can an understanding of how ancient mediterranean …

If you’ve ever done any research on the Bible - and if you’re listening to this podcast, you probably have - you might have noticed that most biblical scholars agree with each other on a lot of basic points.

Seeing or hearing a Bible verse being pulled out of a hat to support someone’s argument is a common experience for many people. Homosexuality is wrong because the Bible says so.

Demons, Ghosts, and Satan; What the Bible Says About Things That Go Bump in the Night 32:23

1M ago32:23

32:23

Demons and ghosts have specific, sometimes ambiguous, places in the modern imagination - demons tempt people to wickedness, but their incredible power can be harnessed by someone brave (or stupid) enough to bargain with them. Ghosts envy the living and can haunt and harm you, but can also be the comforting presence of a long-dead loved one. What ro…

Early Christian Controversies About Jesus' Resurrection 52:32

2M ago52:32

52:32

With Easter fast approaching, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are on the minds of many Christians.

Today, Dr. Ba…

Paul Said WHAT About Women? Debunking Misused Bible Verses 1:03:37

2M ago1:03:37

1:03:37

Unless you have sworn off social media, you’re probably familiar with the existence of “tradwives” - women who live their lives according to traditional, conservative gender roles.

Boy Jesus: Growing Up Judean in Turbulent Times Featuring Joan Taylor 50:32

2M ago50:32

50:32

If you ask any Christian about the life of Jesus, you’re likely to get a version of one of the gospels of the New Testament - 90% of the story would concern the final few years of Jesus’ life, with a brief mention of his birth in Bethlehem to a virgin and the subsequent flight to Egypt.

Did Jesus Believe in Heaven? 48:34

The fear of death is an experience common to most of humanity - in fact, one of the oldest pieces of literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh, shows one man’s struggle with that very fear.

Knowing when something was written helps to better understand answers to other questions - like why it was written, and how it relates to other texts from that time.

Does Mark Have a Vendetta against the Twelve Disciples? 43:45

4M ago43:45

The disciples were Jesus’ closest companions during his ministry, the collective Robins to his Batman.
