In this episode, I welcome back Brandon Grafius, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Academic Dean at Ecumenical Theological Seminary. Known for his unique expertise in both Biblical studies and horror, Brandon discusses his latest book, Scared by the Bible: The Roots of Horror in Scripture. We delve into the intersection of horror and biblical texts, unpacking how various genres within the Bible, from apocalyptic literature to body horror, can enrich our understanding of both sacred texts and horror narratives. Brandon also touches on modern horror films, generational anxieties, and the importance of understanding horror both in scripture and contemporary media. Tune in for a fascinating conversation that bridges the worlds of theology and horror fiction.
