DEUUUTERONOMY: Actually super important and mostly really good??

Listen Later
  • The final book of the Torah, the one we NEVER talked about in church, actually ... kinda rules at times? 
  • In the story, at the edge of Canaan, Moses reframes everything that's happened to this point, retconning the horrors of Numbers and synthesizing the Bible's competing God ideas into one coherent theology that more or less works for everyone on earth (except the despicable Jebusites). 
  • Upgraded lore, now including IRON GHOST GIANTS (and way less murder). 
  • Talmud rabbis vs. Oprah's collected life advice: who ya got? 
  • You want some more weird penis rules? Say less. 
  • God and Moses perform their finale duet, VeggieTales-style. 
  • There are patriarchal parts that really suck, because this was written ~2,600 years ago by a guy with specific bad ideas, and we'll try to talk context. 
  • But for the most part, this is the most coherent and best-written book of the Bible so far. It's also possibly just about the most historically important book in the entire Bible. Yep!  
  • Thank you to scholar friends Brad Haggard, Mike Altman, and Jason Smith for taking a look at our notes. Any errors are the fault of Jason (host Jason, not Smith Jason) and nobody else. 
  • Follow us on Twitter and Instagram, maybe send us a dollar or few on Patreon (with monthly Discord book club, bonus episodes, and a sticker for offer).
