Bonus Episode: Who Wrote Genesis, and Why? - Gil Kidron

Dan Libenson talks to Gil Kidron, of A Podcast of Biblical Proportions, about the podcast’s first season. They explore Gil’s ideas of who might have been responsible for writing some of Genesis's, most prominent stories -- and for putting the final edit together. In doing so, they ask what political and spiritual interests the book of Genesis might have served, before it was combined with the rest of the books into what we now know as the Torah. 

The second season of A Podcast of Biblical Proportions begins next week, examining The Book of Exodus.
