The Bible isn’t just a religious text - it’s a time machine that transports us to the day-to-day lives of ordinary people who married, had kids, toiled the land, experienced seasons of bounty and hunger, and withstood years of warfare. Much like you and I, these biblical heroes loved, loathed, coveted, and knew the gut-wrenching pangs of heartbreak.The ”Biblical Times Podcast,” is your portal into the past. We aim to guide listeners on a journey back thousands of years, right into the era of biblical heroes. Our mission is to contextualize their actions against the backdrop of their realities, societal norms, and legal structures.Written and edited by Dr. Liora Ravid, who holds a PhD in Biblical Studies and is the author of the book, “Daily Life in Biblical Times.”
