DAVID & JONATHAN: Biased toward love (with Mason Mennenga)

Listen Later

We're back in the Book of Samuel, starting in chapter 18, where giant-killer David meets Israel's other war hero, Prince Jonathan. To quote Taylor Swift, sparks fly. Platonic sparks, your Sunday school teacher assures you.

  • There's a case these two were just extremely affectionate political allies. That case has been made, and we're not very interested in it. 
  • Interpret this story however you want. We're completely convinced this was the Bible's first great romance. Thanks. 
  • We're also joined by popular YouTuber, podcaster, and theologian Mason Mennenga to discuss how this story is just one of many examples that show scripture reflects how we view it.
  • Support this show, if you like, by joining our Patreon, where we post monthly episodes on related stuff (CCM cringe/nostalgia, explaining Christian-ese language, ranking '70s Rapture movies, what the Bible *actually* says about abortion, etc.). Joining will also get you into our Discord. We're also on Instagram and Twitter!
