Episode 18: Jared Byas – Taking the Bible Seriously But Not Literally

By August 28, 2017February 10th, 2023No Comments

This week, Jared takes on his first solo episode. Since he’s a plebeian and doesn’t have his own Wikipedia page (unlike Pete), he begins with a little autobiography and the recurring theme of taking the Bible seriously but not literally. And encourages us, no matter how we read the Bible, to stop using “literally” all together.
