The Naked Bible Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Mike Heiser is a “dot connector” who distills hard-to-access scholarship into knowledge for the masses. His approach is faith-based but not dismissive of critical scholarship. Academically and theologically rock solid but not afraid to be heterodox. Mike’s work has significantly strengthened and enriched my faith and is the sole reason that I now, finally, can truly say that the Bible is my favorite book.

I only have an associates in biblical studies but there is stuff covered in this podcast that I am told (by Mdivs) is not even covered in what their degree covers. I'm not saying that I think nobody should get a formal education; what I am saying is this is a great bible study podcast. It will teach you the importance of (and get you started on the road yourself) understanding the original languages, at least knowing the alphabets and some basic words, because the Old Testament writers words and phrases are being used by New Testament writers to make theological points, and to teach what happened, what was happening during the time the NT writers wrote the Bible, and what WILL happen in the future. Highly highly recommend this podcast, it has changed the level at which I understand scripture exponentially. And I had already read the Bible 10 times and gotten my Associates before I started listening to it.

I was given a copy of Supernatural as my introduction to Mike Heifer’s work. I’ve now read many of his books and love this podcast. I’m grateful that he was with us long enough to help open our minds to be better at studying the Bible and help get us closer to God.

This podcast has changed how I view the Bible. I feel like I’ve gone through a college-level class after every episode.

Dr. Heiser, you are sorely missed.
