There are plenty of Bible podcasts and perhaps even more biblical podcasts. Each have their own motivations and purposes. However, the purpose of this podcast is to help address the rising rate of biblical illiteracy. Though most people have some familiarity with the Church, or religion in general, many people have not read the Bible or know what it actually says. With this comes a lot of assumptions. Of course, biblical literacy is ultimately addressed by actually reading the Bible. However, this podcast attempts to help the reader understand the text by adding informative elements such as context, language issues, history, and even origins of dogmatic ideology that often prevent a casual reader from gaining an understanding of what the text actually says. The result is that those who listen to this podcast will continue reading and not quit early on as so many do.
