Pete Enns is an American biblical scholar and theologian. He has written several books and hosts The Bible for Normal People podcast. 

In this episode, we talk about what led him to reevaluate his understanding of the Bible, why some Christians feel the need to “defend Scripture,” and how viewing the Bible as a rulebook can limit people’s faith.

Zoe Booth is the Community Engagement Manager at Quillette and the Quillette Cetera podcast host.

Zoe was one of my first podcast guests, and I wanted to bring her back to explore how her political views have evolved. Initially immersed in leftist activist spaces, she eventually became disillusioned with certain ideologies within those spaces. In our conversation, we discuss what attracted her to far-left advocacy, how she became disillusioned and the reasons behind her current perspectives.
