    Antisemitism in Atheism || Featuring Vishanti

    Atheists, particularly those who were former Christians, tend to be zealous in their anger towards Christianity. So much so that the rocks they throw at Christianity often end up hitting Jewish people instead. We're going to be tackling this issue with Vishanti, examining ways in which atheists misunderstand & mischaracterize Judaism, and perpetuate antisemitic rhetoric.

    Biblical Slavery and its context || Interview with Dr. Josh Bowen

    In this episode we get Dr. Josh Bowen of  @DigitalHammurabi  to talk about slavery in the Bible, and its context in the Ancient Near East. What do Christians often say about it? How did slavery in ancient Israel compare to the slavery practiced by its neighbors? Was it really a mostly kind sort of social institution, or was it something more akin to slavery in the American South?

    How Prophecies Are Forged! || Interview with Kipp Davis

    Today we're talking to Biblical scholar  @DrKippDavis  about prophecies in the Old Testament & ancient Judaism. How were they viewed by their intended audiences? Did they foretell a coming messiah? Do these all unambiguously point to Jesus of Nazareth?

    Josephus, James, & Jesus || Interview with Dr. Steve Mason

    Today we're talking to historian Dr. Steve Mason who will be sharing his expertise on Josephus, the Jewish historian to the Romans in the 1st Century CE. Josephus has been mined as a source by everyone from Christians arguing for Jesus' divinity to mythicist atheists such as Godless Engineer or Richard Carrier who argue that he never existed. We're going to try to take a broader view. We'll be asking questions like: Who is Josephus? How do historians view him? What is his historical context? Finally, armed with some better context, we'll examine one of the passages most relevant to the mythicism discussion: Josephus reference to James, the brother of Jesus who was called Christ in Antiquities 20.
