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 »

Dan is intellectually honest. He is scholar driven, and isn’t interested in the dogmatic usage of the Bible unless the presenter says so. Dan allows the listener to negotiate with the interpretation he presents that the biblical authors were going after based on context; something many modern day...Read full review »
