2. How we will read the biblical texts (as stories)
3. How we will think about the biblical authors (as regular people)
4. What happens when we read the stories in their ACTUAL historical context (they pop!)
5. What is the best way to listen to the podcast, taking into account that it is a serial podcast
Enjoy the ride!
