    Just the Two of Us - A History of the Bible
    Apr 28 2022

    In this episode, it's just you and Josh. We hope that, in the future, we'll have questions and comments from you, our precious listeners. But we're starting out. Josh talks about what we do next. Suggested possibilities include frequently attending congregations different from your own, either within your religious group, or across the religious boundaries. In addition, he talks about his papers because he just can't help himself.

    A History of Bible Part 3
    Apr 21 2022
    In this final main episode of the series, we discuss how you get your English Bible and what we have done with this information. We start with Martin Luther, who was important for Protestant Christianity, and move on to discussing how the Bible was cut down from 81 books to 66 in the United States. From there, we move into analyzing how politics and economics plays a role in what Bible you choose and what is available to you.

    A History of the Bible Part 2
    Apr 14 2022

    Welcome to part 2 of our three part history of the Bible. We start in the Roman Empire and continue forward, moving into a discussion of translation issues and why you should read that little introduction in your Bible before Genesis. We also discuss other versions of the Bible as they existed during and after the Roman Empire. Does Joshua get a little persnickety with bad translations and eurocentric language? You'll have to listen to find out (but of course he does).
