Our first After Dark episode means that this episode may not be suitable for younger listeners.    Priesthood Dispatches is a blog which has had the LDS world laughing. Filled with crazy Mormon stories from real life experiences, the blog has fans from across the world. But who is he? We had narrowed it down to the fact that he is definitely in the UK, but we want to know more. In this Live, After Dark episode we talk to Priesthood Dispatches himself.   CONTENT WARNING  In this episode we discuss abuse and sexual assault. Viewer discretion is advised.    ]https://www.facebook.com/Priesthood.C...

Please note, your hosts audio sounds super quiet in this episode.  There aren't any technical issues as such, its simply that Dr Sheldon's voice sounds like the voice of an Archangel! We'll try to compensate by upping our volume the next time he joins us!  Join us for this week's Livestream as we introduce Dr Sheldon Greaves, host of the Discovering The Old Testament Podcast Series.  You're going to love him!    This is the first in a new series which is going to change the way you look at scripture.   Dr Greaves has a Ph.D. in ancient Near Eastern Studies from the University of California at Berkeley in 1996, with his main area of emphasis on the Hebrew Bible.   This episode sees us discuss Dr Greave's LDS background, his education as a biblical scholar, the September Six, his fascinating career which has included training spies and cyber security, his Discovering The Old Testament Podcast, and his approach to biblical scholarship.    Show notes   Dr Sheldon Greaves blog https://www.lafkospress.com/about-us/...  Dialogue Journal  Summer 2009 The Education of A Bible Scholar by Dr Sheldon Greaves https://www.dialoguejournal.com/artic...  Discovering the Old Testament Podcast can be found wherever you get your podcasts.   Dr Greaves collaboration with Miguel Barker-Valdez podcasts episodes are available on the Rational Faith Podcast
