Is the Bible a Book of Fairy Tales? Not so fast. [12 Days of Christmas #8]

Talking animals, people turning into pillars of salt, and sea monsters swallowing men whole (only to vomit them back up, alive, three days later): it sounds like the stuff of fairy tales… or perhaps ancient myths. But do these stories have a place among today’s trusted, historical volumes? Are these merely the kind of tales we tell children in order to teach good morals, or do they point to a grander, true story about the real history of the world? In this episode, Joel Settecase helps you explain why the Bible is not a book of fairy tales. It’s an apologetic argument that you will be able to put into practice right away. It’s the ThinkPod 12 Days of Christmas. 12 current cultural challenges answered with timeless biblical truth, by Joel Settecase and some of his friends.
