Now Available!

For those who love to read the biblical and historical research behind my novels, you are going to absolutely love this new book release.

Stay tuned, because I will be announcing the release of my next novel set Judah Maccabee within the next week or so.

What Was God Doing Between the Old and New Testaments?

There was a four-hundred-year gap between the last Old Testament prophet and the New Testament arrival of Jesus Christ. It’s called the Intertestamental period.

What many people don’t realize is that there were some very significant things happening and they were related to the Bible and its prophecies as described by the prophet Daniel.

This book explores some of the biblical and historical meaning of it all.

This book contains the biblical and historical research behind Godawa’s novels Judah Maccabee: Parts 1&2, of the series Chronicles of the Watchers.

But don’t worry, you don’t have to read the Judah Maccabee novels to get the tremendous biblical value out of this book.

Fascinating Biblical Things You Will Learn:

• What is the Septuagint and why is it important?
• What are the books of the Apocrypha and should they be in the Bible?
• What are the Books of Maccabees about?
• What is the origin of the Jewish festival Hanukkah and why isn’t it in the Bible?
• Why was God silent during the Intertestamental period?
• Was God absent from the temple during this time?
• How was Hellenism so significant an influence on Judaism and Christianity?
• Are the female warrior Amazons of Greek myth real?
• How does the story of the Maccabees fulfill prophecies of Daniel?
• The shocking truth of how Greek myth borrowed from Jewish/Semitic religion.
• How the Greek pantheon fits into the biblical concept of gods of the nations.
• What is the Abomination of Desolation in the book of Daniel?
• How is the Abomination of Desolation quoted by Jesus Christ different?
• And much more!

The Bible and Mesopotamian Myth: Iron and Myth podcast

Posted on by admin

Skeptics often claim that the Hebrew Bible must have been copied from older Mesopotamian texts.

Frankly, this is lazy thinking by people looking for excuses not to deal with God.

Our Iron and Myth crew joins us to discuss the relationship between the Bible and Mesopotamian religion: Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim, Chronicles of the Watchers, the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and a forthcoming novel based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea. 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.

No, Current Events in Israel are Not Fulfilling Bible Prophecy – New Audiobook

Posted on by admin

I just put my book Israel in Bible Prophecy onto audiobook on Amazon.

Israel: the Chosen People, the children of Abraham.

They were God’s elect in the Old Testament. But why were they so special to God?

Respected biblical author Brian Godawa examines how the promise of God to Abraham was fulfilled in the New Testament through the faithful Israelite, Jesus the Messiah, and how that changes everything.

I used the AI Virtual Voice and it sounds really good.

It allowed me to put it at a very cheap price.

Gods of Greece in the Bible: Iron and Myth Podcast

Posted on by admin

The Iron and Myth crew discuss the intricate relationship between Greek mythology and biblical narratives, particularly focusing on the influence of Greco-Roman religion on Jewish thought, and the significance of the Abomination of Desolation (Dan. 9:27, 11:31, 12:11; Matt. 24:15).

We also explore the role of demigods and the Rephaim in ancient beliefs, the reality of ancient deities, and how the New Testament engages with Greek mythology.

Doug highlights subversive storytelling in the Book of Acts, undermining Greek stories about the gods Zeus and Hermes.

And we discuss the influence of ancient oracles on early Christianity; specifically, how the spread of the gospel silenced the oracles of Apollo, which provoked the most intense persecution of Christians in the history of the Roman Empire.

Finally, we discuss the significance of the Septuagint and how it provides insights into biblical texts that may have been lost in translation, emphasizing the supernatural elements present in the Bible.

Book Review of Cruel Logic on Deeper Waters

Posted on by admin

Here’s an interesting book review of my latest novel Cruel Logic by Nick Peters of Deeper Waters blog.

He is a Christian apologist so he provides an interesting perspective on the novel.

He says: “this is an important novel for parents especially to read who are thinking of sending their kids off to college. You need to know what is going on at a college campus and what your children can expect to see happen when they are there. Godawa’s book should be an eye-opener.”
