I explore the religion of ancient Israel, the beginnings of Christianity, then finally the evolution of the heirs of Abraham to the year 200. I discuss every single book in every Bible (there are more than you think!). Lightly garnished with a dash of drollery, a soupçon of scrutiny, and not one ounce of objectivity. Not one ounce! The main narrative concluded in January 2024. But I continue to publish Afterlife shows.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861"},"episode":{"title":"Afterlife 13: 50 Years of Biblical Archaeology Review","slug":"afterlife-13-50-years-of-biblical-archaeology-review","published_at":"2025-08-03T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861/afterlife-13-50-years-of-biblical-archaeology-review","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861","url":"https://historyinthebible.libsyn.com/afterlife-13-50-years-of-biblical-archaeology-review","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/historyinthebible/HIB_AL_13_50_Years_of_BAR.mp3?dest-id=261304","summary":"The year 2025 marks fifty years of publication by Biblical Archaeology Review, often known as BAR. This is halfway between a journal and a magazine, rather like National Geographic. It has worked as a bridge between professional archaeologists and historians, and the general public. In this show I am joined by my old mate Steve Guerra of the History of the Papacy podcast. We discuss BAR's history, and present some of its articles.","meta_description":"The year 2025 marks fifty years of publication by Biblical Archaeology Review, often known as BAR.
