The BBC and the Bible

A new BBC podcast in their “Intrigue” series, called Word of God, deserves a listen – while critical of some Christian use of archaeology it also provides some useful lessons from which we can all learn.

It concerns the Museum of the Bible, in the USA. I have never been, and though the podcast highlights problems in its development, my enthusiasm to pay a visit sometime has not been dampened.

Opened in 2017, the museum quickly became an impressive repository for a range of artefacts related to Biblical history. As a beneficiary of financial backing from the owners of American craft store Hobby Lobby, it has been able to spend large sums acquiring significant items.
