Good and could go deeper

“Loved the Stavrakopoulou interview! Best episode. The others are fine, but I was surprised that there wasn’t much that dealt with deeper themes of the narratives. It felt like a good bit of it was like listening to a SparkNotes summary of the narrative, which is obviously fine but you want it to go deeper once the ground has been laid. For example, why no discussion of the exilic/post-exilic context for the dialogue between YHVH and Abraham about S’dom and ‘Amora as a motivation for a scene all about the question of YHVH’s justice? So much to discuss in terms of the dating of different layers of the text and the discourse about JE/non-P and the different theories of editing/authorship/etc. Instead the scholarly side of the episode focused on the etiological nature of the scenes with Lot’s wife and Lot’s incestuous children. This is also fine, but felt like some of the less exciting questions about these texts. It just didn’t go as deep as many of McClellan’s much shorter TikTok’s. Also would have been nicer to have the second half of the episode tied in somehow with the first half. The discussion of unprovenanced artifacts was certainly interesting but felt like an abrupt change of subject. The hosts have only just launched the podcast, so it’s worth sticking around to see if it gets to a place where there are deeper insights and more discourse.”

“Dan does an except job of presenting the interpretations and meanings in the Bible while leaving biases out (as much as humanly possible). As an atheist living in the Bible Belt, Dan’s content helps me understand the Bible for discussion with my theist friends and family.”

“I found Dr McClellan on Tiktok then YouTube, thrilled that he’s doing a podcast now! All of Dan’s content is very wise and scholarly, informative and entertaining. My favourite so far is when you had Aaron Higashi on the podcast. Two of my favourite biblical scholars in one place!
Thank you so...”Read full review »
