Über diesen Titel

 You've probably heard of the Bible, maybe even own one or read one. Its typically thought of as a religious book, but at its core it is a collection of ancient primary manuscripts. In this podcast, we will examine the Bible from the perspective of a Historian, to examine its historicity and manuscript strength, to see if we can uncover why the founders of the United States thought this book held value for the construction of our civic system. This podcast is a follow-up series to "Unmoored: America Adrift in Historical Forgetfulness and Finding Our Way Back." That podcast was an examination of what has happened to the USA in the early 21st century. In that examination, it became clear that the US civic system, as originally designed, was based on a moral virtue foundation held in common. For the citizens at that time, the location for that foundation was the Bible. That makes sense when we realize the country was peopled mostly with Christians. The USA is not peopled mostly with Christians today in the early 21st century, so is the Christian faith even worth examining? Perhaps not, at least not at the civic level, but before we decide to jettison or reject what the Founders believed to be necessary, we should examine it. So, we will seek to uncover what is going on in the Bible and whether we can trust it as a historical document. Is what we read accurate as a historian considers primary source documents? Is it possible that the story it tells of a Savior God coming to rescue the humans remotely accurate?2025

    An Introduction to Uncovered
    Aug 11 2025

    Carl and Matthew are back in the studio with this next, but new, podcast. This "episode 0" is an overview intro of the coming podcast. Episode 1 will come out in mid-September, with the following episodes coming weekly after that.

    This podcast does have a link back to the first podcast, Unmoored as that podcast argued that the US founders believed that to make this governing idea work (“government of the people”), there had to be a common moral virtue foundation. For those founders, the foundation was based around Christianity. Should we care today about that? What evidence is there that Christianity is real or worth our time?

    To study or understand any religion or philosophy, you must look at the foundational documents. For Christianity, that is the Bible. This podcast will not be looking at the religious concepts within the Christian faith, but rather we will examine the Bible as a historical document. We will consider the tests and concepts that Historians apply to any moment, event, or personage from the past.

    Episode 1 will be coming out in mid-September.
