Description
Historian Gad Barnea studies the ancient texts behind the Bible, and he joins Danny Jones to argue that newly examined writings change what we know about the Bible's origins. His subject is the world of ancient Israel's neighbors, whose records have only recently become readable in full.
Barnea explains how inscriptions and documents from surrounding cultures reframe familiar stories: where ideas came from, which gods were worshipped when, and how the texts were edited over time. Jones asks the layman's questions, and Barnea answers from the sources. The claims come from active scholarship rather than fringe theory, though scholars debate them too. Listeners interested in the Bible's real ancient context, beyond both Sunday school and debunking, will find this among the most substantive episodes in the series.
