À propos de ce contenu audio

 It’s okay to have doubts about what you believe. And it’s okay to dig deep to find answers to your skepticism. This podcast takes you on bite-sized deep dives into the stories behind the Bible. When you learn that the God of Abraham was actually the chief god of the Canaanites, that Moses imported the Midianite cult of Yahweh, and that the Apostle Paul created a new religion by mixing the popular Mystery Religions with Judaism, you’ll change your mind about the foundations of your religion. And you won’t have to feel guilty about your doubts anymore.Vicky Derksen Spiritualité

    #3 What's Up with the Tower of Babel?
    Apr 21 2022

    The Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11 is a great example of a Mesopotamian myth. Archaeology has given us loads of ruins and artifacts to help us understand their purpose. In this episode, we look at language in those ancient times, other Tower of Babel myths, and learn a bit about ziggurats.
