Posting video to Substack for the first time. We have been livestreaming on YouTube for a while, but now we are bringing our videos over to Substack.
Goddess Bible Study is an exploration of the little-known stories of the goddesses, priestesses, and prophetesses in the Bible. We place the Biblical narrative on the historical timeline, along with the neighboring cultures and the archaeological evidence, to bring forth a fresh perspective on these old stories.
Who knew that God had a wife?
And that the Bible tells the story of the divorce of the Mother Goddess?
I was shocked to find out. No one taught me this stuff in Sunday School.
Contemporary critical scholars do excellent work in archaeology, cataloguing the evidence and providing translations, but they do not engage with the material they study theologically.
What does it mean that God once had a wife?
What happened to her?
Who is the Mother Goddess?
What are her traditions, philosophy, and metaphysics?
What was lost when our ancestors got rid of her? Did she go away?
Why does the Mother Goddess matter today?
These are the themes we explore on Goddess Bible Study.
I want to thank our contributors: pagan priestess Lisa Adams, former Orthodox priest Joshua Vander Plaats, and Gnostic Bishop Nathan Wilson for contributing their time and insights to these fantastic conversations.
