Iron and Myth 39: Judah Maccabee and Brian Godawa’s Strategy of Theological Imagination

This may be my most unique interview this year because the insightful questions of the Iron and Myth crew got me talking about my own philosophy of writing and how I adapt the Bible and history into novels.

The so-called silent centuries between the Book of Malachi and the Gospel of Matthew weren’t as quiet as we’ve been taught.

This month, the Iron and Myth crew discusses a fictionalized account of Judea’s struggle for independence in the second century BC from the rule (and gods) of their Greek overlords by Iron and Myth regular and best-selling author Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), Judah Maccabee Part 1: Abomination of Desolation and Judah Maccabee Part 2: Against the Gods of Greece.

Derek Gilbert (View from the Bunker) Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com) and Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net) join Brian to discuss the historical and theological significance of the centuries between the Old and New Testaments, focusing on the story of Hanukkah and the Maccabees.

We analyze the role of Antiochus Epiphanes, the Maccabean revolt, and the implications of these events on Jewish history and theology.

Our conversation also explores the nature of historical fiction and how it can be approached from a truth perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding divine authorities and principalities in the context of these narratives.

Brian shares how he balances myth and history in biblical narratives, emphasizing the concept of ‘mytho-history’ as a blend of mythological and historical storytelling.

He explores the role of fiction in understanding scripture, the importance of cultural context, and how integrating non-biblical stories can enhance biblical narratives.
