7.15 Ashdod and Anab

Author: Not Theology. Just how world history intersects with Christian history. February 19, 2021 Duration: 25:25

This fifteenth episode continues the journey through the book of Joshua. In this episode, I cover the history of the city of Ashdod, territory that Joshua and the Israelites did not conquer. And where the giant Anakim continued to live. I also touch on Anab. Listen and let me know what you think.


Vol. 1 The Christian History Podcast moves beyond doctrine to explore the tangible, often surprising intersections where the Christian story meets the broader sweep of world events. This isn't a study of abstract beliefs; it's about the people, places, and artifacts that shaped and were shaped by these historical currents. Each episode digs into the continuation of narratives that begin in the biblical text, following their threads into the fabric of empires, cultures, and philosophical movements. You'll hear how spiritual ideas influenced social structures and how political realities, in turn, redirected the course of religious thought. The host, guided by the principle that this is "not theology," instead focuses on the lived experience and historical impact, connecting dots across time in a way that feels both scholarly and deeply human. Tuning into this podcast offers a grounded perspective, examining how faith has been woven into the everyday realities of different eras-from ancient crossroads to medieval courts and into the modern age. It’s for anyone curious about the forces that shaped our world, who appreciates history told through specific lenses and concrete details. The conversation here lives in that rich space where religion, culture, and history constantly converse, providing context for the present by meticulously unpacking the past.
