Data Over Dogma

De: Daniel McClellan and Daniel Beecher
  • Resumen

  • This ain't your pastor's Bible podcast. This is a deep interrogation of the book, and we're bringing receipts. Bible scholar Dr. Dan McClellan and atheist podcaster Dan Beecher team up to discover what the Bible actually says, what it decidedly doesn't say (even if everyone thinks it does), and explore the history of the most popular book of all time.

  • Episode 107: Immigrant Apocalypse with Yii-Jan Lin
    Apr 21 2025
    The way many people talk about immigration in the United States, you'd assume that it was an apocalyptic event. And actually, many of the most extreme voices in our society are literally saying as much. But this is not the first time American immigration has been linked to Biblical apocalypse. This week, we're bringing in Dr. Yii-Jan Lin, whose new book Immigration and Apocalypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration chronicles the many twists and turns of the eschatological mindset from Columbus straight through to the present. Did the first immigrants (the Europeans) think of their own journey as hastening the end times? How did that story change as time passed and they started to think of themselves as the "natives" of the land? What happened when other, non-European, non-Christians started landing on American shores? Find Dr Lin's book here: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300253184/immigration-and-apocalypse/ ---- HEY!

  • Episode 106: Usurer Error
    Apr 14 2025
    It's a sin so egregious that Christians weren't allowed to do it, BY LAW, for centuries! But now? Totally fine. Everybody participates. No big deal at all! The next time you meet a Bible literalist who is certain that you have to follow the laws of the Bible to the letter, but who is also pretty excited about capitalism, ask them about usury, and watch them fall all over themselves to pretend like it's fine. Because MAN, the Bible is just adamant that people shouldn't do that. Like, death penalty adamant. But what, technically, is usury? Is it just charging too much interest for a loan, or is it charging any interest at all? Who does the Bible allow to engage in usury, and under what circumstances? We're going to find out! Then we're moving on to one of the most misunderstood, and possibly confusing of Jesus' parables: the parable of the talents. Is it about maximizing your God-given gifts? Is it about money? Who is God in the metaphor? What's really going on? ---- HEY! TICKETS FOR THE FIRST *AND SECOND* LEG OF THE DATA OVER DOGMA TOUR ARE ON SALE!

  • Episode 105: Wandering in the Wilderness with Angela Roskop Erisman
    Apr 7 2025
    Anybody want to take a long walk in the desert? Well, this week we've brought in Angela Roskop Erisman to guide us through the wilderness! In her new book, The Wilderness Narratives: Religion, Politics, and Biblical Interpretation, Dr Erisman discusses the exodus as you may not have heard it discussed before. Far from being the actual writings of a literal Moses, Dr Erisman uses genre analysis to propose a far more allegorical explanation for the story. Could it be that the beloved tale of Israel escaping their Egyptian captors was actually written or compiled as a means of serving far more political ends?

An excellent start to a vital podcast

The audio levels are a little off at the beginning, and Dan M makes a gestures without a descriptive vocalization towards the end, but those are my only complaints. If you've ever listened to a sermon or a political argument based on the Bible, you'll be interested in what the Dans have to say here. Informative, fascinating, but not polemical.

insight without ideology - perfect

Love that ideology was kept out of the discussion. The discussion was somewhat comprehensive and enlightening. Looking forward to future podcasts.

I look forward to this podcast every week

As a deconstructing Christian, I’ve found Dan McClennan to be very helpful as a guide through the whole experience. I appreciate his humor as well as his compassion for those who have been left behind by modern day Bible. I especially appreciate the voices he gives to the women of the Bible, such as Mary Magdalene and Ashera. If you’re looking for the truth, the honest truth and not the half assed KJV truth, Dan can guide you to the sources you need to come to your own conclusions about scripture.

Enjoyable!

I learn a lot and laugh a lot. The Daniels are well educated on their subject and present their facts and opinions in an engaging way. I look forward to each new episode.

Very informative

Great podcast by a biblical scholar without the haze of ideology. Clear and literal interpretations of the mythologies in the bible.

Excellent and Entertaining

This is a great resource for those interested in really understanding the Bible without the reading being colored by any particular religious tradition.

Disappointing

The presentation was so flippant and disrespectful that I found it distracted and detracted from the information presented.
