Episode 55 - Title Suggestions1. God’s Body2. Does God have a Body?3. God really has a Body and we’re not joking4. The one where God has a body Episode 55– Show NotesThe idea we explore is that the Old Testament authors all thought that God had a body. For them He wasn’t an ethereal unembodied universal Being. We look at the evidence for this view and the reasons it seems so contrarian a view to take. There is wonderful history here hidden in the Old Testament and in the story of how views have developed since. Frances shared an infamous legal case from the 19thC. Please see this link which includes a copy of the cartoon she describes:https://www.secularism.org.uk/the-freethinker-blasphemy-trials.html As is often the case we (well Frances & Ed, Andrew seems to know it already) gained immensely from “The Bible for Normal People” podcast.
