Ep. 31 Christmas Prophecies pt. 1: What is prophecy?

Happy holidays from Dungeons & Dialectics! This year, we're diving into the biblical prophecies that foretell the birth of our savior... Or DO THEY??? In classic Dungeons & Dialectics fashion, there's a twist. What if these prophecies didn't predict the future, but instead referenced the past? What if it's all made up? But what if that's the point??? Find out how a deeper reading of biblical prophecy and a more complex understanding of the role prophets play can help us improve the ways we use prophecy in our own games!
