Episode on Yahweh
Love the show. Love Alex, even as a Christian. I really appreciate his reasonableness and fairness.
I hope he brings on someone to foil the latest episode on The History of Yahweh. If not, NT Wright’s “Christian Origins and the Question of God” series serves as a great foil to the Documentary Hypothesis/Evolution of Religion theory that he was proposing. This has been largely rendered obsolete but still holds on in some American institutions and maybe popular still by guys like Bart Ehrman. Mike F Bird of Ridley College would also be a great foil, to name just one. OT scholars like John Walton or John C Collins are more great foils.
Loved the episode nonetheless
