Bill Reel's Mythical Jesus Podcast

Post by Hagoth » Fri Oct 05, 2018 11:46 am

I've listened to five of these and I really like it.

I'm a bit confused by the name. You would expect it to be about the literal historicity of Jesus of Nazareth, but it has more to do with scholarly analysis of scripture and the framing of Jesus' message outside of standard religious filters.

Anyway, it's a quick listen, only about 15 minutes per episode, and chock full o' goodness and Bill's special kind of wisdom.

Anybody else following this one?

I just started this a few days ago and intend to keep listening. Bill has a knack for dispensing information without sounding like he's reading a report.

I was also confused by the name. I intentionally avoided it at first because I thought it would focus on deconstructing the story of Jesus.
