Wild Olive

Auteur(s): Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird
  • Résumé

  • The Wild Olive Podcast brings you game-changing conversations about literature, culture, and the Bible. With co-hosts Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird, Wild Olive serves up idea-feasts: tasty insights about biblical texts and contemporary (or classic!) literature, with generous side-portions of cultural commentary and hearty laughter. One literature professor + one biblical studies professor = uncontrolled, out-of-bounds, untamed conversation: ideal listening for the post-evangelical, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the Bible-curious secularist, the free-thinking religionist, and the literary-but-not-stodgy! New episodes every other Friday!

    While Jeanne and Jennifer take a short hiatus for the next batch of episodes, hear an episode from our back catalog that relates to this seasons theme of "Marriage and the Bible"!
