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
169: The Raptor (Isaiah 44-47)
A shamed princess having to hoist her skirts in order to cross streams, and who sits in the dirt like a commoner.
This is how the prophet Isaiah sees the proud empire of Babylon.
It seems improbable, but Isaiah believes anything is possible with his God.
Right now, God is predicting that his own people will be freed from Babylonian captivity without bloodshed or money changing hands, and that the mighty Babylonian Empire is about to face its own catatsrophic fall.
