I'm new, where do I begin?
Welcome!
If you're just getting into the podcast, it is best to begin with the introduction episode, posted here below. It sets up the whole thing:
1. The historical periods we will focus on (Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian and Hellenistic)
2. How we will read the biblical texts (as stories)
3. How we will think about the biblical authors (as regular people)
4. What it looks like when you put pieces together (the stories pop like never before)
5. What is the best way to listen to the podcast, taking into account that it is a serial podcast
It's a fun ride, I promise.
