Last June (2019), I launched a unique podcast called Bibl·e·pigraphy––where the Bible and epigraphy meet––now available on iTunes and the Bibl·e·pigraphy website. What makes this podcast so singular is that it is devoted to discussing inscriptions and their relationship to earliest Christianity, and the New Testament in particular. My rationale for starting this podcast was twofold.

First, I wanted a platform to promote my latest book, Studying the New Testament Through Inscriptions: An Introduction (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2020), which will soon be available for purchase and can be pre–ordered here (it was originally set for release on April 1, but the COVID-19 crisis delayed it).

Second, I wanted to introduce important Greek, Latin, and Hebrew/Aramaic inscriptions to scholars (unaware of this material), pastors/ministers, and lay persons, for the purpose of discussing how these archaeological artifacts can or, in some cases, cannot help us better contextualize the New Testament and thus interpret it more accurately.

I am proud to say that in less than ten months the Bibl·e·pigraphy podcast has hit its first milestone: it now has over 500 downloads (508 to be exact)!

Thanks to everyone who downloaded and listened to these podcasts! It is a pleasure to make them and an even greater pleasure to know that they are listened to!

If you have listened to the Bibl·e·pigraphy podcasts but not rated them on iTunes, please do so because it will help promote the podcast. If you haven’t listened to them yet, what are you waiting for? Click here to listen and prepare to be hit with some knowledge!
