Hi, I'm Andrew. Come join me as we tackle weird interpretations, popular biblical myths, and the underpinnings of fundamentalist readings of the Bible, working together to learn how to practice a responsible form of biblical interpretation that leads us past brutish literalism, confusing cultural dissonances, and problematic texts.
Let us instead walk the path of a Bible less traveled, that we might discover again its inspiring stories, the rich world behinds its pages, and how the heart of the text calls us to live today.
If you grew up in an environment that rejected asking questions and are now deconstructing your faith, this is the podcast for you! Welcome
If you struggle to bring together the message of love that Christians talk about with how blatantly unloving many of them act and have written off the Bible as a result, stay tuned and prepare yourself for a new lens.
If you have never seriously look at the Bible before and are just satisfying some curiosity, glad to have you along for the ride!
And if you disagree with me and think I'm a heretic, God bless you and keep you. Keep listening so you can try tuning up your "apologetics" to the current century, you never know what you might learn.

This is the first in an arc of podcasts focusing on myths about the bible. This episode deals with the myth that the Bible "must be read literally," in order to get the best/intended interpretation. Join me as we talk about why this isn't the case, do a very quick crash course in 500 years of Western history, look at some passages that can't be read literally, and talk about two pre-Renaissance approaches to biblical interpretation that didn't consider literal interpretation meaningful.
