In this fascinating MythVision conversation, Derek Lambert sits down with renowned historian Paula Fredriksen to explore one of the most controversial questions in biblical history:

Topics include:

- Justin Martyr and the “second God”
- Greek philosophy and Christianity
- The Trinity in early Christian thought
- The Exodus and biblical mythology

plausible mentions of Yahweh are in Egyptian texts that refer to a similar-sounding place name associated with the Shasu nomads of the southern Transjordan. In the oldest biblical literature, Yahweh is a typical ancient Near Eastern "divine warrior", who leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies; he later became the main god of the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and of Judah, and over time the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as the god of the entire cosmos, possessing all the positive qualities previously attributed to the other gods and goddesses.
