EP: 398 Phobetron and The Age of Monsters with Dr. Judd Burton & Doug Van Dorn

What if the writers of the New Testament were intentionally hijacking the greatest myths of the ancient world to tell the true story of Jesus? Doug Van Dorn and Dr. Judd Burton return to break down the art of biblical subversion, the strategy of entering an opponent's story and retelling it through the lens of the gospel. Luke, the comic book nerd of the apostolic age, filled his two-volume masterwork with deliberate allusions to Homer, Virgil, and Greek mythology, using the very names and narratives his Hellenistic audience would have recognized to show the supremacy of Christ over the gods of the nations. From the Aeneid parallels in Acts 9 to the Watcher numbers hidden in Acts 23, from Jesus stilling the storm as an overthrow of Yom and Baal to Paul being mistaken for Hermes in werewolf country, the guys reveal layer after layer of intentional mythological subversion woven into the fabric of Scripture. They also explore how John subverted Greek philosophical dualism, how Hegel and the French Revolution weaponized subversion against Christianity, and how Doug's chiastic cosmic mountain theory reframes the entire structure of Luke-Acts. It's a masterclass in why the Bible is way more fun when you learn what it actually means. Read Dr. Judd's new article here! https://strangertheology.com Learn more about your ad choices.
