RSR 208 Scared by the Bible with Brandon Grafius
LATEST EPISODE
Scared by the Bible
In this episode, I welcome back Brandon Grafius, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Academic Dean at Ecumenical Theological Seminary. Known for his unique expertise in both Biblical studies and horror, Brandon discusses his latest book, Scared by the Bible: The Roots of Horror in Scripture. We delve into the intersection of horror and biblical texts, unpacking how various genres within the Bible, from apocalyptic literature to body horror, can enrich our understanding of both sacred texts and horror narratives. Brandon also touches on modern horror films, generational anxieties, and the importance of understanding horror both in scripture and contemporary media. Tune in for a fascinating conversation that bridges the worlds of theology and horror fiction.

MEET THE HOST
N.S Mather
Host
Greetings! I’m Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 35 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. I’ve spent the past 19 years teaching courses in philosophy and religious studies. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike’s Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world’s wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.
