Writing The Bible
A complete history in 20 minute chunks
A new history series on the podcast. I aim to cover the full history of biblical composition, from the oldest antecedents through to canonisation.
The show assumes no particular religious outlook or prior knowledge. I'm covering it for something different, because I think it's interesting, and as a jumping off point to talk about timeless issues in moral and political philosophy.
Episodes
1 The First Flood
Introducing the show. The first flood epic.
2 Hammurabi's Code
ANE marriage, slavery, homosexuality, & law
3 The Great Hymn of the Aten
A pre-biblical monotheism?
