Summary

Welcome to Season 8 of The Bible Binge dedicated to the most cunningly courageous queen in the Bible, Esther. We asked the questions: What if there was a podcast that used pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? What if you could listen to a recap of the Bible like a recap of your favorite TV show? SNL’s Stefon would tell you that The Book of Esther has everything. It has murder, lies, intrigue, adoption, romance, a beauty pageant. It has villains, heroes, and underdogs. And it has a lot of revenge. We start to unpack all of these aspects in this first episode.
