History in the Bible

About History in the Bible

A guide to the history presented in the Bible, for people of all faiths and backgrounds, presented by an independent podcaster, and biblical studies buff. I explore the religion of ancient Israel, the beginnings of Christianity, then finally the evolution of the heirs of Abraham to the year 200. I discuss every single book in every Bible (there are more than you think!). Lightly garnished with a dash of drollery, a soupçon of scrutiny, and not one ounce of objectivity. Not one ounce! The main narrative concluded in January 2024. But I continue to publish Afterlife shows.

   Afterlife 23: Sayings from the Bible 1

   The English language is littered with sayings and expressions from the Bible. You use many of them every day, although you may be unaware that their origins are Biblical. In the first of a miniseries of episodes, Gil Kidron of a Podcast of Biblical Proportions and I will discuss some of these sayings. Gil has the advantage of speaking Hebrew and French as well as English. We are about to discover that his common Hebrew sayings simply do not exist in English, nor many English sayings in Hebrew.

   Afterlife 22: End of Times 1- Origins

   I introduce a new miniseries, about the story of Christian thinking of the end of times. I am joined by my old mate Steve Guerra, of the History of the Papacy podcast. From the time of Jesus, Christianity has looked forward to the end of the world, the end of times, the apocalypse. In this cosmic cataclysm, the sinners will be destroyed, and the righteous will spend eternity living under God's kingly rule. In this first episode of the miniseries, Steve and I present the origins of these ideas.
