Show Notes about the Episode
The story of Abraham and Sarah’s unexpected guests is found in Genesis 18:1-15. I told that story in my previous episode #6.15 Guess who’s coming to dinner. I also make reference to my episodes #7.6 Zeus and Hermes Come to Town (for the myth of Baucis and Philemon) and #3.15 MelchiZadok, king of JeruSalem (for Abraham and Melchizedek).

History in the Bible Podcast
Garry Steven’s History in the Bible Podcast is a magnificent three season long layman’s guide to a century and more of research into the Biblical texts and the archaeological evidence behind them. He has explored the religion of ancient Israel, the development of Christianity, and the co-evolution of Judaism and Christianity.
Although Garry is now approaching the end of his project of creating his layman’s guide, he continues to engage in collaborations with other podcasters and experts from time to time and I am very honoured to be included in his list of collaborators.

History of the Papacy Podcast
Steven Guerra’s History of the Papacy Podcast is an in-depth review of the fascinating history of an institution that has played a vital role in the history of the world. He receives many plaudits for his depth of knowledge and clear and digestible presentation.
He began about a decade ago with the biblical and other accounts of the early church and his most recent posts deal with the life and times of Pius IX.
