Data Over Dogma - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve enjoyed listening to Data Over Dogma for its deep dive into biblical scholarship and for bringing a well-informed, critical lens to scriptural interpretations. Hosts Daniel McClellan, a Bible scholar, and Dan Beecher, an atheist podcaster, provide engaging insights that challenge traditional readings and make complex topics more accessible to listeners. Their segments exploring biblical language, history, and context are particularly valuable for those wanting a non-traditional but rigorous approach to understanding scripture.

However, I feel that the podcast often brings a pronounced political perspective that could detract from its appeal to those seeking a more neutral take on theology. This bias might sometimes overshadow the educational content, which is otherwise top-notch. Overall, I recommend it for listeners who appreciate a mix of scholarship and modern critique, though it may not resonate with those looking for a fully apolitical discussion of religious topics.

I don’t always think these guys are spot on, but it’s still a really good podcast. I like that both guys are able to not be offended by each other’s ideology and perspective. And they're able to laugh and joke within the topics discussed, but still be serious about discussing theology as well. Explaining the history of how ideas are texts evolved and came to be very seriously, but also being able to be lighthearted within the podcast is nice

Dan and Dan are reaching people who would likely have no interest in the Bible. I am fascinated by the Bible from an historical perspective and they offer plenty. I have great love for this show and it's one of the few I subscribe to.

I love this podcast for the simple reason than it tells me what it is. No bias. No agenda and it allows me to make my own mind about things. Both Dans are the perfect hosts. Such a great podcast to listen to.
