About this listen

Given the scope of the topic, this discussion is bound to be both insufficient and controversial. Be that as it may, I'm grateful to have such an experienced voice on the podcast. Steve Scansen shares some of his background in the faith and suggests three categories of biblical difficulties--similarity to other ancient texts, internal discrepancies, and OT citations in the NT--while I press him with my hopelessly anachronistic expectations of the text. Am I a child of the Enlightenment? Guilty as charged.   

Books referenced and recommended by Steve:

The Enuma Elish
The Epic of Gilgamesh
The Code of Hammurabi
The Bible Tells Me So, Peter Enns
Cross Vision, Gregory Boyd
