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
191: Run! (Jeremiah 49-50)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
To his audience, the prophet Jeremiah's words must seem beyond belief.
The city of Jerusalem has been battered and besieged, its king has no real authority to rule, and its greatest and best people have been hauled away to exile in Babylon.
Yet Jeremiah promises that the mighty, all-conquering Babylonian Empire which dominates the Near East from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean and south to the Egyptian border will one day be reduced to rubble and dust.
Even more unbelievably, less than seventy years later, Jeremiah's words come true.
