Footnote Famous – Conversations with the world’s top scholars of the Bible and Christian origins
Fake Bible Scholars Are Going Viral. Real Scholars Need to Step Up Child sacrifice, God's wife, & how Bible editors ”fixed” them
I sat down with Dan McClellan — one of the most followed actual biblical scholars online — to talk about how we got here, why it matters, and what real scholarship looks like when it finally shows up to the fight.
We cover:
→ Why ”biblical” is a political term, not a scholarly one→ How apologists learned to sound credentialed without being credentialed
→ Why real scholars abandoned the public square — and what it cost us→ The identity politics engine driving Bible misinformation
→ What it looks like when actual scholarship pushes back
→ Dan's new book ”The Bible Says So” — and what it gets right that apologists get wrong
