    Pregnancy and Childbirth in the Ancient World
    Jul 27 2021
    Given today’s technology, pregnancy and childbirth are much more efficient than they once were. In today’s podcast episode, we gaze into the world of the Ancient Near East and see that miscarriages and infant deaths were commonplace. We also see the cultural reasons as to why parents wanted children—and lots of them! Learning all of this helps us see the stories in the Bible a little more clearly.

  • Seventy

    Seventy
    Jun 1 2021
    Sometimes geography is known in numbers. There are 50 states. There are 7 continents. For the ancients, geography was seen in the number 70, which was the number of the nations that made up the world after the great flood of Noah’s time. Why does this matter? Well, as we continue into the Bible we find very surprising theological messages being communicated over this number.

    What Happened Between Noah and Ham?
    May 25 2021
    I’ve only heard one interpretation that makes sense of all the data when it comes to that strange episode of Noah passing out drunk and naked in his tent—and that interpretation is a bit odd.

    Noah’s Eden
    May 18 2021
    In today’s podcast episode, we see that as Noah gets off the Ark, the story of Eden repeats itself—but this time with a twist. It’s not as glorious of a picture as the real Eden.

  • The Flood

    The Flood
    May 13 2021
    Noah’s Ark is a famous story that many Christians have heard over and over again. But our modern minds want to know: Was it fact or legend? Working off of the book The Lost World of the Flood, I offer a conclusion that hybrids the two possibilities.

  • Enoch and the Nephilim

    Enoch and the Nephilim
    Dec 15 2020
    Genesis 5 briefly tells us about a man named Enoch who apparently didn’t die but was taken to be with God, while Genesis 6 briefly tells us about how the sons of God slept with the daughters of men and beget Nephilim/giants. In today’s podcast episode we take a deep look into these passages by expounding upon them with a later Jewish writing called, “The Book of Enoch,” in order to see what the Jews thought of this very strange story. While doing so, we see the New Testament surprisingly come alive with direct allusions to the “Book of Enoch,” that we never saw before.
