Whoa be unto the researcher who opens a Bible and seeks to separate historical fact from

literature.

It is full of both.

This means that some of its characters were literal historical people and others probably

never existed.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

Also surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash Skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEP TO ID.

Thanks.
