A Quandry
I have found this to be a reasonably interesting podcast, however I really wonder if Dan M. has bothered to actually listen to what he has said in the cast. He is, for whatever reason, a Christian apologist. Meanwhile, he goes through a truly mind-boggling set of twists and turns to, somehow, try and show the validity of the Christian religion. He admits that the "New testament", as we know it, is a revised, re-revised, and re-re-revised commentary and, yet, still seems to want to buy into it as a valid document. He does not even try and provide a view of the "Old Testament" (Tanach, which he mispronounces) as being at least somewhat more authentic than the new, in that most of the biblical research is done on documents closer in both language and time to the original (whether you buy it, or not). He also doesn't go into the concept that virtually all of the "new ideas" in the New Testament are derived from existing ideas in the Tanach (whether original in Tanach or derived from older traditions). Dan B does his job adequately in that, like others, his role is more of a presenter and querier (if there is such a word) and seems to have a reasonable grasp of the subject, while admitting to his lack of true expertise. Yes, this is an iteresting Podcast, but really brings very little new to the table and has a definite bias that Dan M. doesn't admit to.Read full review »

It is very refreshing to hear scripture discussed through referenced historical perspective and the context and grammar of the original texts languages. Religions are so often conveyed with emotion and ignorant opinion. Great job, subscribed!

(Other Dan is great too :) ). I’m loving this biblical deep-dive with the Dans and their guests (and I’d be just as engaged without the guests). I discovered Dan McClellan on YouTube (his “STITCH INCOMING…alright, let’s see it” shorts are as amusing as they are brilliant). This podcast medium...Read full review »
