This week Sam and Daniel are joined by Dr Joshua Bowen. Josh runs a  YouTube Channel 'Digital Hammurabi' with his wife Megan, and is often engaging with Christians, agnostics and atheists online about the Hebrew  Bible and ancient Near Eastern culture.
The video version of this conversation can be found here on our YouTube channel 12 hours after the audio version goes live.
In this conversation, we dive into why Josh is writing his books, why he engages with individuals online and what made him begin to question,  and then ultimately give up his Christian faith.
Dr Josh's Bio: Dr. Joshua Bowen graduated from the Johns Hopkins  University in 2017, with a Ph.D. in Assyriology. He wrote his dissertation on the lamentational liturgies of the city of Kiš, and specializes in the Sumerian language. Joshua was awarded the Deutscher  Akademischer Austauschdienst (D.A.A.D.) and Fulbright scholarship during the 2014-2015 academic year, allowing him to spend the year in  Tubingen, Germany, working with Dr. Konrad Volk on his dissertation project.
