In the season 1 finale, John and Brian travel to the ancient city of Corinth. Perhaps no book in the New Testament draws upon cultural imagery more than 1 and 2 Corinthians.

Are all Creteons Liars? How would you know if one told you? In this episode, John and Brian explore the island of Crete. This mythological home of the Minotaur is now a popular tourist destination. John tells stories of new discoveries while Brian is off eating weird food. Join us for this episode of the Bible Passages Podcast!
Although only mentioned briefly in the Bible, the island of Rhodes punches above its weight when it comes to ancient connections. Once home to a colossal statue, Rhodes was a place of political wheeling and dealing. Today, the island boasts a healthy tourist population and has such landmarks as the so-called St. Paul's Harbor. Join Brian and John as they talk about what can be discovered about scripture from this small island!
