The Hosts have been busy lately... Check out @drkatieturner on @BibleTimeMach, talking to Helen Bond and Dave Roos about clothing & dress in the 1st century. 👇

[Biblical Time Machine @BibleTimeMach]

There's so much we get wrong about clothing and dress in the 1st Century. Did Jewish people dress differently than gentiles? No. Did most men have long hair and beards? No. Did Jesus and the disciples rock sandals with socks? Yes! @DrKatieTurner dispels 1st-Century fashion myths.

And don't miss Joe Scales on the @VisualisingWar podcast, where he talks to @KonigAlice about battle speeches in the Second Temple period.

This one's a two-parter, so more to come soon!

Last week's podcast, featuring Dr Joe Scales (co-host of @GodMovPod) helped us grapple with connections between conflict and identity in ancient Judaism: https://t.co/Xozo3H8Al2 This week, Joe will dive into some of our textual sources from the period, esp. pre-battle speeches.

We had so much fun recording with @DeacyChris that we spun that discussion off into a whole other episode!

There's technically 4 more days left in the Christmas season - that's more than enough time for one more holiday-themed podcast. Link in Q/T 👇

[Gods & Moviemakers @GodMovPod]

For the 6th day of Christmas🎄 no, it's not birds, it's a new episode!
We're trying something totally different - rather than looking at a movie, we're chatting about our last ep (on Elf), Xmas movies in general, and some fun polling we did.

Listen now!

@MattPage Let's petition our local theaters because I would crawl through broken glass to see Ben Hur in a theater.

It was a huge joy to be invited to appear on the brilliant podcast @GodMovPod to talk about Christmas movies, and specifically #Elf. Check out why Christmas films are so important...

@MattPage A-mazing 😂

We've got a new episode! Just in time for Christmas🎄
We're spreading holiday cheer w ELF (2003) & our guest @DeacyChris. How should we understand Xmas movies: As strictly secular? Or something a little more religious? We get into it.
