This is a very special collaborative episode together with "A Podcast of Biblical Proportions."
In this episode, I tell the story of the infamous beef between the Prophets Jeremiah and Shemaiah and how it contributed to the composition of two important biblical books.
The story is followed by a discussion of biblical storytelling between myself and Gil Kidron!
