Episode 50: Numbers in the Bible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Celebrate our 50th episode milestone with a deep dive into one of the most fascinating literary devices in ancient texts: Biblical Numerology. To the modern mind, a number simply measures quantity. But to the ancient Near Eastern authors of the Bible, numbers carried profound qualitative, spiritual, and theological weight. In this episode, Daniel unpacks the symbolic language woven throughout the Old and New Testaments. We aren't decoding a secret cipher for the end of the world; instead, we exp
Episode 49: The Holy Grail (opens the original)

What if the most famous religious relic in history started out as medieval fan-fiction?

In this episode of Cogito Ergo Pod , Daniel delves into the fascinating and forgotten world of the Ebionites, a first-century sect of Jewish-Christians who lived in the ultimate religious tension. To them, Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah, but strictly human—adopted by God at his baptism. They kept the kosher dietary laws, celebrated Jewish festivals, and considered the Apo
Episode 46: The Circumcellions (and the Donatists) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Travel back to fourth-century Roman North Africa—a world of intense regional tension, economic hardship, and a church tearing itself apart. Following the brutal Diocletianic Persecution, a massive schism erupted over a fiery question: Can a bishop who surrendered scripture to the Roman empire still administer valid sacraments? For the radical Donatists, the answer was a fierce no . But out of this volatile cocktail of religious purity and rural anger emerged one of the strangest, most terrifying
