I see that the formula for success that Bart has found is to pair a biblical scholar with a cohost named Megan. The formula is working again, great episode!

Misquoting Moses is another great thing Bart did. Joel is an amazing scholar!

I just heard the tea/coffee point, living in Melbourne Australia with our Coffee culture, despite being a British Tea drinking colony, that resonates well for me

My favorite Simpsons Bible joke that isn't is a joke because It absolutely is true is from the Missionary episode. Throughout it Homer keeps calling Jesus "Jeebus" and near the end one missionary tries to correct him, and the other one, [reading the sections of Joshua's conquest of Canaan] says "Huh, Jebus IS in the Bible. It was the original name for the mountain Jerusalem was built on, and its inhabitants, the Jebusites.

I know this doesn’t relate to this particular episode, but I wanna express how much I enjoy this podcast and the pleasure of having this level of scholarship and history brought to life. Please keep at it! I read the Bible and I thought the book of Samuel was a page Turner and kind of exciting to read. however, when I made it to Isaiah I crashed. So I’m looking forward to all the discussions about the book of Isaiah because I found it to be completely incomprehensible.

My boyfriend is ginger, has a beard, and wears similar glasses as Joel Baden, but he has 0 interest in religion, while im obsessed with the topic. Watching someone who looks like him getting all excited about Hebrew Bible is an interesting experience 😂

My "recovering" Baptist brain is about to explode. But it feels good to hear logic and facts overcome the common "genetic" lifetime religion. You know, "My Daddy was a Baptist, his Daddy was a Baptist...." Keep up the excellent series, please!
