I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.

The gods, Zeus and Hermes, drop in on the unsuspecting inhabitants of a Phrygian city.
Wait, that can't be a story from the Bible, can it?
