Hey everybody, it's getting hot out there. I've got some epic summer plans coming up. I'm about to go on a trip with my family. I got another trip in the future with my oldest daughter.

The trains that are derailing, that reminds me of Revelation where you have the horses and they have the tails like scorpions and all this. And can we just not, can we please stop doing that?
Dan Beecher (2:38)
Just relax, everybody. Yeah. You're going to be okay.
Dan McClellan (2:45)
Hey, everybody. I'm Dan McClellan.
Dan Beecher (2:47)
And I'm Dan Beecher.
Dan McClellan (2:48)
And you're listening to the Data Over Dogma podcast, where we increase public access to the academic study of the Bible and religion, and we combat the spread of misinformation about the same. How are things today, Dan?
Dan Beecher (3:01)
Things are good. We're we are both now officially back from our travels.
Dan McClellan (3:06)
Yes.
Dan Beecher (3:07)
And for now, per at least for the for the immediate future, where we're we're stateside and live in life. We got a fun show coming up. I'm pretty excited about it. We got the the old. Well, OK, let me just say a miracle has happened. And that miracle is we mentioned a thing on a previous episode, and then we remembered to talk about it on this episode.
Dan McClellan (3:39)
You mean we followed through on something on anything?
Dan Beecher (3:42)
It's a miracle. Yeah, we literally were able to do it with the help of our listeners, who they literally heard me say, hey, I wish so. I hope somebody will help me remember to do this. And they came out of the woodwork and helped me remember to do this. So we're talking about preterism, which I think is awesome. And I also did not know what that was. So I'm very glad that we get a chance to talk through it.
That's going to be our first What Is That? That's going to be our first segment. And then in the latter half of the show, we're going, we're going eschatological, but not, or rather, we're talking about an eschatology, the Book of Revelation, or as Marjorie Taylor Greene says, the Book of Revelations. And we're going to talk about that. And whether or not, we're going to talk about who thinks and doesn't think it should be in the canon.
