S4E14 - On Gods and Dragons
Manage episode 422137471 series 2877940
In this episode Chris discusses an episode of the YouTube channel "Mr. Mythos" entitled "Evidence YHWH was a Dragon." We examine the prominent role dragons hold in world mythology and explore evidence in the Bible that describes God as a dragon. We then expand on Mr. Mythos' work to incorporate Jordan Peterson's discussion of the Babylonian "dragon of chaos"--the primordial goddess Tiamat--and it's relation to the Hebrew word Tehom in the book of Genesis. We wrap up with some speculation about the symbolic meaning of the dragon image and its implications for understanding human nature.
Enjoy ;)
