8.13 Gideon Pt. 2

Author: Not Theology. Just how world history intersects with Christian history. November 12, 2021 Duration: 19:48
This thirteenth episode begins the deep dive into the history found in the book of Judges. In this episode, I cover the remainder of the biblical narrative concerning Gideon, after he defeats the Midianites the gets his revenge and heads home. This is also the last episode of the first volume, so there’s an important programming note. 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.
