It's a big four cubits welcome back to last-minute co-host Nat Ritmeyer for the Psalms segment this week, as we dive back into the theology of Iron Age Israel through its poetry. We also have a shorter Genesis segment (stay tuned for more of Rebekah's story next week), and in Matthew we're looking again at the evangelist's use of material from Mark's gospel.

Read transcript

There's some cool Genesis material that didn't make the cut, so that's coming up next week while I recover from the lurgy - though just the regular kind this year! This week's episode is extra-long to make up for it, as Nat and I go to town on Psalm 29 and its connection to contemporary Israelite society.
