Questionable, risky, and sometimes incorrect

“Having listened to nearly 20 episodes, it's time for a review. My foremost objections are its sourcing. Father De Young's wild assertions whose only source or citation seems to be, "Trust me, bro." Well and good, but it's hard to trust someone who semi-regularly says the Bible says thus and so when it most certainly does NOT. Yes, I own the Orthodox Study Bible; he's either misremembered, mistaken, or is just wrong. Bad form. There is also a **lot** of cherry-picking from the Pseudepigrapha and rabbinic legends to support their ideas while ignoring numerous contradictory sections. I'm trying to give grace, but it seems a little dishonest to me. The pop culture references, "giggles," and overall tomfoolery can be annoying, but it **is** a podcast, and they are minor compared to the grievous points mentioned above. The occasional incredible gems (three or four so far) keep me listening. Sadly, I would not recommend to anyone that didn't already have a very firm grasp of ANE thought and Second Temple literature--basically, people who would already know the podcast's content. I've found too many errors to take this with any more than a grain of salt and I really expected a couple priests to have a better grasp of sacred scripture.”Read full review »

“I’m a Protestant, former pastor, lecturer and current PhD student in New Testament. Accordingly, I thought I knew a bit about the Bible, theology and angelology. However, having listened to a goodly number of the Lord of Spirits podcast episodes, I have been thoroughly disabused of any notions of...”Read full review »

“Absolutely amazing. I can’t even express how much I love this podcast. The information given is so interesting, and it’s a fresh perspective which I so badly needed after hearing similar ideas over the years. It also helps in defense of common arguments against Christianity. I feel like it is an...”Read full review »
