Gideon: Context, Textual Notes, and the 'Angel' Problem

This week should be sponsored by that "adult play" company, because we're getting a little naughty! Or rather- the Bible got a little naughty (maybe), and we're just talking about it.

First, though, we're going to talk about one of those famous "judges" that the book of Judges was named for. It's the story of Gideon, and it has a lot going on! Did Gideon see God or an angel? Why did he ask for signs? Why is my hotel Bible named after him?

Then, it's time. We're going to talk about the... thing in the Bible that you don't write in the show notes. The biblical fun phallus. Is that actually what it is? We'll see!
