Rendering the Old Testament comprehensible
While looking for an educational audio series to help illuminate the Bible (as an important text of Western history, not from a religious angle), I came across this well-paced, even-handed and informational podcast. Mssr. Metzger has an amazing ability to synthesize the vast and seemingly impenetrable scope of the early Old Testament bible into a coherent document merging storytelling, philosophy, and history. I feel like I learned more on the Old Testament in these 10 episodes than in 10 years of Catholic school decades ago. I am now eagerly listening to the other episodes as well--this podcast will relight an interest and passion for ancient texts that remain relevant today, for those of us who have only dim recollections from our schooling years.
