Season 2: Episode 47
Animals in the Ancient World
Date Aired: 1/01/2024
The Bible is literally crawling with animals—from the crafty serpent of Genesis to Jesus’s parable of the lost sheep. That’s because animals (both wild and domesticated) were an integral part of life in the ancient world. In today’s episode, Lloyd Llewelyn-Jones is back to explain what lions, donkeys, doves, and dogs really meant to the ancient authors of the Bible (and also what a locust and honey sandwich actually tastes like).
