Thank you to all those people who have subscribed since I started the newsletter in March this year.
I have now reached 100 Subscribers!
You may notice, I don’t give many sources in my newsletter. I only quote the Bible and extra-Biblical sources.
The reason is that I listen to many podcasts. In fact, so many podcasts that I forget where I hear some of the things I share in the newsletter.
I remember who said it, but to track down where exactly amongst the numerous podcasts I listen to, would be a laborious task.
So instead, I have decided to share my favourite ‘go to’ sources:
Ancient Egypt and the Bible’s Dr David Falk is an Egyptologist, who goes deep into the Bronze Age and Iron Age history of the Bible. His work is a great resource.
Anything by John Walton and Dr Michael Heiser is worth a listen. John concentrates on the Book of Genesis and Dr Heiser discusses the Counsel of God among other topics.
Lord of Spirits Podcast. I wouldn’t recommend this for new Christians, but my friend PhresnoPharmacist described it perfectly when he once told me this podcast was a ‘wild ride’. He’s not wrong. The episode on the Romanian exorcism rites for vampirism is incredible. Father Stephen De Young also runs a podcast called the Whole Counsel of God, where he discusses the Bible, verse by verse.
Jonathan and Matthieu Pageau both discuss Orthodox symbolism. Well worth watching.
Church of the Eternal Logos. David Patrick Harry is an Orthodox convert who goes deep into religious studies as well as modern cultural issues. His thoughts on Adam being the first shaman, or fallen priest is very interesting.
Post-Apostolic Church gives comprehensive information around the early Church. He also looks at pre-Christian Jewish philosophy and the extra-Biblical texts too.
Other podcasters I listen to include:
Inspiring Philosophy
Philypocrite
Pints with Aquinas
Alistair Roberts
Paul Vanderklay
Capturing Christianity
Euler’s Identity Crisis
Father Spyridon
Lambda Bible Studies
More Christ
NT Wright
Pints with Aquinas
Speak Life
And finally, St Elijah OKC. Deacon Ezra produces the most comprehensive work of any Bible Scholar on YouTube (in my opinion). For example, his series on the Book of Revelation runs for over 50 hours.
Again, thank you for subscribing and reading this newsletter. I love sharing what I find out with you all.
I suspected some Dr. Michael S. Heiser in your posts. :-) I'm just beginning his Naked Bible Podcasts, and am grateful to have found him (via Twitter). I look forward to checking out the other resources you mention, thank you.
