Yes, he's a bit politically conservative, but I nevertheless remain a big fan of Robert M. Price, the Bible Geek. He's a former evangelical Christian -- now an atheist -- who uses his near enclopedic knowledge of the Bible, 1950's SciFi movies, and HP Lovecraft to make compelling argument for a Bible written by humans and rooted in cultural heritage of the day. In other words, not even close to being the inspired word of a god.
He has two podcasts.
One is "The Human Bible".
The other is "The Bible Geek" which has multiple episodes per week.
Love him, even though he bloviates a bit. At least he acknowledges that he does so.
I love his Pentateuch quotations in a cheesy Charleton Heston Moses accent. Of course, he renders Jesus quotes in a Willam Defoe voice (who played Jesus in "The Last Temptation of Christ"
.
The Bible Geek is all user submitted questions. The Human Bible is tutorial, more like Bible scholarship 101.
It's mind blowing, and often controversial, hermeneutics. But as Dr. Price would say, his purpose is not to say what is the truth, but to suggest what may be.
He's also a prolific author on such subjects.
Just putting this out there for what it's worth.
