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 Detour 5: Chasing Proto-Indo-European","slug":"afterlife-detour-5-chasing-proto-indo-european","published_at":"2025-12-14T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861/afterlife-detour-5-chasing-proto-indo-european","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861","url":"https://historyinthebible.libsyn.com/afterlife-detour-5-chasing-proto-indo-european","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/historyinthebible/HIB_AL_Detour_5_Chasing_Proto_Indo_European.mp3?dest-id=261304","summary":"In this detour episode we go way, way back.

This ancient tongue is Proto-Indo-European. Join Bernie Maoplski of the Fan of History podcast and I, as we chase down the latest theories on the origins of this ancestral language.
