Sinopsis

What did the ancient Hebrew people have in common with their Canaanite neighbors to the North? Well, a lot more than you've been told! History doesn't happen in a bubble, and neither does the advancement of a civilization. I'm joined today by Dr. Stephen Andrew Missick. He's an Aramaic scholar who has spent a significant amount of time studying the belief systems and cultural practices of the ancient people groups who once inhabited Mesopotamia and the Levant. You don't want to miss what he has to say about the connection between the civilization that wrote the Bible and the people who lived next door. This is important information that you aren't likely to hear anywhere else!  Dr. Missick's Work: The Epic of Baal: The God of Thunder (Amazon) The Baal Cycle (Amazon) Aramaic12 (YouTube) Follow Eschaton on the Web:  www.joshuawisley.com facebook.com/eschatonpodcast
