Books of All Time

Episode 14: Exodus and Genesis, Part 2 – A Posterity in the Earth


Listen Later

Our second episode on the first two books of the Bible goes a little bit deeper into the historical context in which Genesis and Exodus were written - the Wild West(ern Asia) of the post-Bronze Age Collapse. Bonus callback to our second month of episodes about The Tale of Sinuhe!


As always, you can read a transcript of the episode on our website. We're also taking suggestions for the 2025-2026 reading list, which will cover roughly 500 BCE - 100 BCE. Have something from that time period you think we should read? (Bonus points if it's not Greek; there are So Many Greeks to cover next year.) Go here and pop a comment at the bottom of the page. Thanks for listening!
