63: Ammon Hillman: Jesus, Sex, Drugs, & Mystery Cults of Antiquity

In this thought-provoking podcast, Dr. Amon Hillman delves into the often-overlooked history of drug use and sexual practices in ancient religious rituals. He contends that the suppression of this history—reflected in the selective translation and interpretation of texts like the Bible—has skewed our understanding of religious and societal power dynamics, especially concerning women's roles and the stigmatization of sexuality. Dr. Hillman encourages listeners to explore primary sources in their original languages to draw their own insights, while acknowledging that the revelations may be challenging and unsettling.
