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 15: The Letter of Jeremiah","slug":"afterlife-15-the-letter-of-jeremiah","published_at":"2025-11-23T09:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861/afterlife-15-the-letter-of-jeremiah","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861","url":"https://historyinthebible.libsyn.com/afterlife-15-the-letter-of-jeremiah","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/historyinthebible/AL_15_Letter_of_Jeremiah.mp3?dest-id=261304","summary":"I'm back with Gil Kidron of A Podcast of Biblical Proportions. In its 29th chapter, the book of Jeremiah contains a letter that the prophet wrote to the exiles in Babylonia. There is another letter of Jeremiah to the exiles, a very short work. In the Orthodox tradition, this is a separate book all to itself. In the Catholic canon, it is a chapter in the book of Baruch. Thanks to Martin Luther, the Protestants don't have it in any form. In this episode, Gil and I investigate the letter. Who wrote it, when, and why.","meta_description":"I'm back with Gil Kidron of A Podcast of Biblical Proportions.
