Prayer of Azariah: Bible Study by Atheists
The Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children: More Apocryphal Adventures
In today's episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, Husband and Wife are back with more apocryphal shenanigans! After tackling the tale of Susanna and the Elders, they're now diving headfirst into the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Holy Children. Get ready for a fiery ride!
We kick things off by chatting about where these chapters come from—most Bibles don't have them, but the Greek Septuagint does. These passages were left out of the Hebrew and Aramaic texts but are a big deal for Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians. The story drops us right into the fiery furnace scene from Daniel Chapter 3, where Azariah and his buddies are singing and praying while surrounded by flames.
As we break down the text, we dig into the historical and theological bits. Why all the praise for God when things look so grim? And what's up with the Greek stuff like Hades popping up? We also chat about how these passages reflect the socio-political vibes of the Babylonian exile.
From the endless praise to the miraculous divine save, we bring our usual mix of humor and skepticism to this ancient tale. Whether you're here for the theological deep dive or just some laughs, this episode has got you covered.

Free Speech and the Case of Mahmoud Khalil In this special episode of Sacrilegious Discourse , Husband and Wife dive into the troubling case of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian permanent U.S. resident and Columbia University student, who was detained by ICE under dubious allegations of terrorism due to his pro-Palestinian activism. With their signature blend of humor and critical analysis, they explore the implications of this case on free speech and dissent in America. Join them as they discuss the historical context of governmental crackdowns on dissent, from McCarthyism to post-9/11 policies, and how Khalil's situation reflects a growing trend of silencing voices that challenge the status quo. They also touch on the broader implications for activists and secular groups, questioning whether criticizing religious influence in government could be framed as extremism. 💬 What are your thoughts on free speech and the treatment of activists in the current political climate?
