Ep 135: Lightning Round: Pearls, Daniel, Haman, and Jehoshaphat?!

Enter the Bible

Welcome to Season 7 of the Enter the Bible podcast! This season, we're diving deep into some of the Bible's most intriguing questions: Was Paul the true founder of Christianity? Is there a distinction between human and satanic evil? And who, if anyone, sits at God's left hand? Join hosts Kathryn Schifferdecker and Katie Langston and a lineup of new and returning guests as we tackle these tough topics and explore fresh perspectives on the Bible's most pressing inquiries.

We begin with a Lightning Round in which our hosts answer the listener-submitted questions:

1. Who wrote the book of Daniel?
2. How do different Bible translations, such as the NIV, NKJV, and RSV, interpret Esther 7:7, and what is the Lutheran understanding of Haman's actions in this passage, particularly regarding the suggestion that he intended to assault the Queen?
3. How many kings attack King Jehoshaphat of Judah?
4. Were pearls common in Jesus' time, and would Israelites have been familiar with them given their scarcity in the Mediterranean?
