The Histericity of the Hebrew Bible Parts 1 & 2

The challenge with taking a critical look at the Bible is that people tend to treat it as just one book, as opposed to thinking of it as a library, which is certainly closer to the mark. Yes, there are those who give  the accounts of both Adam and David the same credibility. But those people are usually not archeologists, and credentialed historians. 

Then, of course, you have your knee-jerk skeptics who say that everything in the scriptures is pure mythology.  Thankfully, there is a middle path that encourages each account to be taken at its own value.  In these 2019 episodes we bring back a dear friend to the show. Sheldon Kopprel  is one of those amazing people who is able to percolate from both sides of the brain. Dr. Kopprel is a  now  a retired professor of Science (he was still working when this aired), as well as a very well studied scholar of Jewish theology. His days often began by rising at 4am to  delve into the depths of the Bible and Talmud.
