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.

Once again, I'm joined by Steve Gwera of the History of the Papacy podcast, as we continue our series on the 12 minor Old Testament prophets.

Here we tackle Zephaniah and Habakkuk.

I've always pronounced it Habakkuk.

Well, that just shows you what I know. Both are short prophets. Zefaniah ranted during the last decades of the kingdom

of Judea. Zephaniah is doom, doom, doom. Habakkuk tackles with a fundamental problem about God's goodness. Why is God about to let

the wicked Babylonians overcome Judah? Hope you enjoy the show. Here we go again. Gary of the

History in the Bible podcast and I humbly, Steve Guerra, of the

History of the Papacy podcast, Gary and Steve, the minor prophets of podcasting, bring you our

latest installment of our series on the 12 minor prophets of the Old Testament. We want to show you that these minor prophets belong in the

major leagues. Gary, how are you today? I'm fine. Still alive? Yeah, that goes a long way these days.

It does, doesn't it? Now, we're well into this series.

We're kind of on the back half of it, depending on how many add-ons we decide to do.

But you can listen to them in order or not.

We're not your parents, so it's up to you.

And they make no sense in our order, any other than any other order,

so you could list them in any order you want.

And if you like these collaborative episodes, Gary and I have nearly an entire podcast,

in and of itself, worth of collaborations for your enjoyment.
