Why people recommend it
How Did We Get the Bible? by Tracy M. Sumner is an informative religious reference book that explores the historical origins, compilation, and translation processes behind the Christian scriptures. The book's subject matter regarding biblical texts was touched upon during an episode of the podcast Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, featuring guest John Cameron Mitchell, who discussed historical interpretations of scripture and the exclusion of texts like the Book of Enoch. In another episode of the same podcast, the hosts made a humorous reference to the contents of the Holy Bible while discussing internet culture and the website Wiki Feet, joking that the sacred text is full of historical descriptions of feet being washed and contains the original feet pictures. These mentions reflect how hosts and guests on podcasts frequently weave discussions of religious texts, historical compilations, and scriptural origins into broader cultural banter.

“Um, because the Bible doesn't actually refer to, you know, specifically by name, the act of being gayed. I think it's the idea of seeking something about unusual flesh or or there's a term that I'm maybe misconstring, but there's this sense that or there's this u theory that perhaps that is referencing these nephilim, but it's not actually contained”
