Giday, I'm Gary Stevens.

And welcome to the third season of the History in the Bible podcast.

In this final season, I explore how the Jews and the Christians constructed new religions when they were sent spinning into the void after the destruction of the temple.

All of the history, about all of the books beyond the Bible.

Bonus 35. In Conversation with a podcast of biblical proportions

In this bonus I talk with Omri and Gil

of the rambunctious podcast, a podcast of biblical proportions.

Omri and Gil are writers and podcasters from Tel Aviv.

In their latest show, they bring a social perspective to the stories in the Tanakh.

They have a triple advantage over me. They speak Hebrew, they live in Israel, and they are smart.

Hope you enjoy the discussion. Would you care to introduce yourself? Hi, I'm Gil. I'm Omri.

And our podcast is a podcast of biblical proportions. That's the name. It's also a podcast of biblical proportions and it's also the name of the podcast.

We try to get into the minds and the psyche and the world of the people who lived through

biblical times by looking at the text in its original Hebrew and seeing all the different layers

and context that are there. Yeah, we use the fact that we are both native speaking

Hebrew and also the fact that we live in here and next to the places that are being described in the

Bible. So we can also not only use the fact that we speak the language to get into the heads,

but we also can feel the weather, the distance between places, and how it affects

culture and culture changes and differences.

That's a big advantage you guys have over me.

And one thing I'd like to say is, I am not a professor.

Well, I was a professor, but not in this, in biblical studies.
