In this episode we explore how Muslim invaders and the fall of Constantinople in 1453 gave us our modern Bible.

Many people don't realize that the historical fate of the Bible actually depended upon a series of political and military events which were completely outside of the Church's control. On this episode of the Bible Gumshoe Podcast, we explore how Emperor Constantine's ambition for power ended up making our modern Bible possible.

To celebrate the month of the Bible, we're looking at the Bible's history and origins. This is the story about how a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek 250 years before Jesus made Christianity and the Bible possible. This story is part of a story of conquest and war, without which, the Bible and Christianity would never have existed.

Since we're in the Month of the Bible, this episode is part of a series dedicated to the nature and origin or the Bible. This episode is dedicated to question what is the Bible and what makes it unique.

Jesus had a secret and tried to keep it from everyone. That secret was his identity. Why did Jesus tell people not to talk about who he was? In this episode, we'll looking at the Gospel of Mark and trying to understand the so-called Messianic Secret.
