Join us on this episode of 'My Strange Bible' as hosts Alex and Steve dive deep into a fascinating but often misunderstood topic - the Giants or 'Nephilim' mentioned in the Bible. Drawing on biblical texts, particularly from the Book of Genesis, and other scholarly insights, they attempt to unravel the historical and theological significance of these beings. They delve into theories regarding their origins, linking them back to episodes like the Sons of God marrying the daughters of men - a controversial notion interpreted through the 'Divine Council Worldview'. The conversation also speculates on the survival of the Nephilim post-flood, their encounters with the Israelites, and the reasons behind the scarcity of fossil evidence.
