Description

The Jews may be back in Jerusalem but things are far from rosy.Nehemiah wades in like a teacher in an unruly classroom, desperate to create order and restore a level of godliness as Judah is resettled.His concern is that this is the Jews' last chance to get things right with God, and so they should avoid any of the behaviours that led to them being captured and exiled in the past.It's more talk than action, with plenty of lists and laws as Nehemiah attempts to tighten up the slack and inspire and encourage the lax and the lukewarm.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa Goff

Advertising Creative Director Chas Bayfield takes you on a road trip through the Bible, leaving one significant item of baggage at home- religion. He tells the story from Genesis to Revelation and explains how this more than any other book has impacted western culture. Wholly Buyable is a podcast for people who might never normally pick up a Bible but who feel they should perhaps know a little more about it than they currently do. After all, the Bible is a book for everyone, not just believers. Listeners will be taken through action sequences worthy of a 21st century TV drama. They will be seduced by erotic poetry and bombarded with hallucinatory visions. Fill your boots with betrayal, brutality, beauty and, believe it or not, comedy.This isn’t your average Bible podcast; no one will be told what to believe but everyone who joins in the journey will hopefully feel that they know the world’s best-selling book a little better.
