Episode 34 - Power, Politics and the Bible
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the complex history of how the Bible was formed. We explore the role of Emperor Constantine, the Council of Nicaea, the early church council that made high-stakes decisions about which texts would be considered holy—and which would be banned or forgotten.
You’ll learn how early Christian leaders navigated political pressures, theological disagreements, and the need for religious unity in a fractured empire. We’ll also touch on the Gnostic Gospels and the socio-political reasons why some writings didn’t make the cut.
Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or just curious about the Bible’s backstory, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the very human—and very political—forces that shaped the sacred.
