Biblical Idols with Dan McClellan — Bible & Archaeology

This week, Dr. Bob Cargill and Jordan Jones are joined by Dr. Dan McClellan of the Data Over Dogma podcast to discuss what the Bible actually says about idols and why it is more complicated than you might think. We cover it all this week: understandings of idols, Exodus 32 and the Golden Calf, the Ark of the Covenant, the Nehushtan, and even Jesus!
