Wholly Buyable
Advertising Creative Director Chas Bayfield takes you on a road trip through the Bible, leaving one significant item of baggage at home- religion. He tells the story from Genesis to Revelation and explains how this more than any other book has impacted western culture. Wholly Buyable is a podcast for people who might never normally pick up a Bible but who feel they should perhaps know a little more about it than they currently do. After all, the Bible is a book for everyone, not just believers. Listeners will be taken through action sequences worthy of a 21st century TV drama. They will be seduced by erotic poetry and bombarded with hallucinatory visions. Fill your boots with betrayal, brutality, beauty and, believe it or not, comedy. This isn’t your average Bible podcast; no one will be told what to believe but everyone who joins in the journey will hopefully feel that they know the world’s best-selling book a little better.
Wholly Buyable
22: Blood in the Bowl (Exodus 23-25)
The laws flow relentlessly, one by one, a bit like a tele printer, each one filed away and cherished, and each one adding to the big picture that the Israelites are beginning to see of God.
God it appears, has chosen them to be special and set apart from other tribes and nations.
While many of the rules appeal to basic decency and common kindness, some seem arbitrary, legality just for the sake of it.
But it seems that God is shaping his people, transforming them from the rough edged mob who made bricks in Egypt to a civilised, urbanised, informed and educated nation- a surprisingly modern nation with codes and behaviours unique to the ancient Near East.
