Sleep Podcast 8: Roland Boer, On Idolatry, and Lakey on Marxist Feminist Criticism of the Bible

Two short pieces. First, Michael Lakey’s review of the essay collection Roland Boer edited with Jorunn Økland, then Boer’s own short essay on Isaiah 44, the first two commandments, and why the monotheist and the atheist share more ground than they admit. Opens with a recap of episode 7. About 40 minutes.
