We step out of the biblical narrative for this new series that will dive into the history, culture and politics of other places around the world, during the events depicted in the bible. We walk through the biblical timeline from the creation through the 1800 BCEs from the Mesopotamian perspective. This change of point of view reveals the impact Mesopotamia has left on the bible. Gil and Omri discuss. Support our podcast on Patreon! Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Meanwhile in... Mesopotamia

A Podcast of Biblical Proportions dives into ancient Hebrew history and ancient Hebrew stories. Our time machine is the texts ancient Hebrew scribes wrote, including stories, historical accounts, songs, poems, prophecies, laws, rules, and regulations. Most of these texts can be found in the Hebrew Bible, aka the Old Testament or the Tanakh.

This English-speaking podcast brings a new perspective to reading the Hebrew Bible — that of the person who wrote it, immersing ourselves in their world and perspective. We started with Genesis chapter 1, and have been proceeding in the order in which the texts appear in the Bible.

Join Hebrew-speaking writer and editor Gil Kidron on a journey of biblical proportions into the lives of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. Since Judaism and Christianity came out of their writings, they ended up laying the groundwork for so much of human culture.
