I had an interesting interview with Celeste Solum on her podcast, Celestial Report.
I talked about the Apocrypha, the Maccabees and history, Scripture, prophecies of Daniel fulfilled in the Maccabees, the Abomination of Desolation, the supernatural story of Hanukkah, and some fun things about my new novel set Judah Maccabee: Part 1 & 2.

Sadly, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net) was unable to join us this month.
We discuss the parallels between creation stories from different cultures, including Mesopotamian and Mesoamerican myths, and the implications of these similarities for understanding the Bible.
We dig into the nature of myth and history, the importance of context in biblical interpretation, and the need for a nuanced approach to understanding ancient texts.
There is an intricate relationship between myth and history, particularly in the context of biblical narratives.
It’s important to understand ancient texts through the lens of genre and cultural context, and at the end of the day the Bible’s authority does not negate the value of other literature.
