I recently found your podcast on iTunes and am getting a lot out of it. I’m up to your lectures on Paul’s dealings with the Galatians, and am learning a great deal.
I wish I had the opportunity to take a class like this when I was still in school. I am recommending it to members of the local atheist group, and am greatly looking forward to getting to the historical Jesus episodes.
I grew up reading the scriptures and knew almost nothing about the cultural context of the writings or how they were compiled. Thank you for doing this podcast.
