Welcome to the first Bible Schooled Podcast of 2024! In this episode, Ian returns to the Christmas story and takes a good look at the Magi, a group wise men from the East who followed a star to the Christ child. Just who were they? How could they know so much about Jesus by simply reading the stars in the heavens? And what connection do they have to Stephen the Martyr? Listen in as Ian talks about all of this - and more!

Welcome to The Bible Schooled Podcast 2023 Christmas Special! In this episode, Ian follows a famous conversation between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien during a walk on the campus of Oxford. Using the wisdom of these two men, along with the early church father Justin Martyr, Ian explores whether or not the story of Christmas is actually a rehashing of older, pagan myths.
