I was in love with the first season. I am about to start the second. The thought about the story from an eastern perspective is so eye opening and it goes into so much depth and it’s amazing. 10/10 recommend

So much to explore in the Bible as we have it today…BEMA is a podcast of exploration into the richness of the written word- praise God for the WORD and how we keep learning about the Messiah / even in Genesis 1. Amazing - thankful for this journey through scripture!

You will be changed after listening.

I find your constant chatter and forced humor back and forth to be distracting — if not immature. I wish you would speak clearly instead of flipping boogers back and forth

I love this podcast, it has given me a better lens to view the Bible through. However in episode 166 when talking atonement, they talk about the scapegoat for Yom Kippur. If you study the temple you learn that this goat was not a scapegoat, that’s a mistranslation. This goat is seen to be...Read full review »

Totally flipped my view of the Bible on its head! Really weeded out the misconceptions that are taught in a lot of the western church.

This podcasts is so incredible. Bring a deeper understand on the Character and heart of God throughout the entirety of scripture. It stirred up a new hunger for the word of God in my heart and has helped me to gain clarity on many Old Testament passages that just seemed confusing. Thank you for...Read full review »

I am endlessly thankful to the work of the BEMA podcast. It has changed the way I interact with the text, and given me the deep love for the Word of God that I have longed for.

I’m new to the bema podcast. I have binged all of season 1 and what a treasure I have discovered and learned through Marty’s teaching. I am looking forward to learning more through the rest of the episodes! Thanks for all you do!
TruthSeeker5374 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
I would highly recommend listening to this podcast!! Marty Solomon, who is the host, does a really great job of teaching the Bible from an eastern perspective, which is the where it was written. Knowing the culture behind the Biblical narrative is so important in truly understanding who God is...Read full review »

Never have I ever seen a podcast that radically changed my life like this one. I’ll never read the Bible the same or even think the same because my eyes have been opened to the beauty of ancient thought and tradition that predates the scholarship that I held on to so tightly that had no real...Read full review »

I’m thankful for the teachings here at BEMA! As I make my way through the episodes, I see the ways God is shaping my understanding of Him, His purposes, His invitation to partner with Him, and His love for His people. Thanks guys for all you do for your listeners. Your work matters.

I have been a bible reader for many years but never fully grasped how beautiful it is until I started listening to this podcast. I've been through the first five seasons twice now and have learned more from their podcasts that I ever did in my entire Catholic / Christian upbringing. Please...Read full review »

Bema is a serious Bible study! Marty Solomon has a firm grasp on the Jewishness of the scriptures. He has is educated. He is pastoral. He is a teacher. I appreciate his way of making all of the Bible accessible.
Mrs. Tinlin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/24
I grew up in the church, so I thought I had a good background in Bible knowledge, but this podcast totally changed the depth of that knowledge. There was so much I had to learn! This podcast is great for those new to the Bible as well as those who have studied it for years. My perspective has...Read full review »

The most important resource in my faith outside of my Bible has been this podcast. Actually, I wouldn’t even call this a podcast, these episodes are lessons and teachings, not just unstructured conversations.
Gaviin T via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/24
Season one and two have really help me develop a clearer understanding of the biblical narrative and how God is working in His world and our lives.
RoughNOx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/24
This podcast helped to continue to shape my understanding of the bible in such a positive way! We journey in this podcast at church and it has created lively and meaningful discussion!!!

Listening from East Asia, this content has transformed my relationship with the word. Just finished season one and WOW. These guys have helped me to understand the narrative in such a new, rich, and deeply transformative way.
LizinAsia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/24
From start to finish season 5, BEMA offers a way of understanding both the Bible and Christianity in a different way. There are so many things I never have heard any good teaching on, and there really are a lot more to the Bible than the “traditional” Christian way offers. Thank you for the whole...Read full review »

Wisdom and warmth and intelligence for interpretation
mr.Airhead via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/24
I’ve been a BEMA listener for around 4 years, and it has radically changed my life. So many parts of scripture that never really made sense before, have become so much more clear. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
KJM5692 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/24
This podcast is one of my favorites! I have learned all sorts of things about God and the history/culture of the stories in the Bible through this podcast. Sure, there are some things that I don’t think I can quite get behind theologically, but wow, I have learned a lot through it! You should for...Read full review »

Incredible resource. Highly recommended. Thank you for providing this.

This podcast, in session 1 alone, has helped me to deconstruct my production minded empire lifestyle and reconstruct my thoughts to align with Elohim who says I am a good creation, not because of what I can produce, but because He created me! I am partnering with Him to be a rotem bush to others,...Read full review »

Thankful this show exists and frequently recommend it to others. My only critique is that the music is a bit dramatic and cheesy…but that is just personal opinion. Keep it up!
ianillig via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
I have read all of Genesis so many times. Yet, I felt like I was reading it for the first time in listening to Marty & Brent explaining it from the Ancient Hebrew perspective. I can’t recommend it enough!

I have been listening to this podcast for years and am still amazed at all I learn in every episode. Anytime I get into a conversation about faith, I recommend BEMA to them. It has changed my walk with God, deepening it and sweetening it in so many ways. If you want to ponder challenging...Read full review »

A refreshing approach to studying the Bible starting in Genesis and establishing a foundation to understand the rest of scripture with a Jewish lens and worldview that I have not previously been taught.
ChristineinVA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
This is such a great podcast that’s helped transform my view on so many ideas in the Bible.

I really like this podcast. My understanding of the biblical story has truly been enriched by listening to these episodes.

Recommended to me by a coworker. Love the Jewish/Eastern world view on the Word of God! Brent is hilarious too. Preach on Marty!!!!

I first saw material from Bema on the YouVersion Bible app. I looked it up and am now on the incredible exploration. Just what I’ve wanted to learn more about. THANK YOU and bless you.

I love this podcast. It has taught me to dig deeper and ask more questions. I like how they give potential insights into topics that many might be hesitant to discuss. They lay the options and theories out for the listeners, usually explain which theory makes the most sense to them, and leaves...Read full review »

I’m so, so glad someone shared this podcast with me. I have read through the Bible several times and this has been my richest journey through the first five books so far (I just finished season one). I’ve been able to bring insight to my small group as we go through the Bible chronologically with...Read full review »

Honestly, you rarely find groups of people willing to partner with you to study the *entire* Bible. This podcast has been such a gift and enlightening me. I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

I ran into a clip of Marty on the Bible app, and I am so glad I came and started listening to this podcast. It has truly been life changing and broadening of perspective.
