November 2, 2026 · 41 min

Show notes

The Amorites were once an age-defining people, but today they have been largely forgotten. So who were the Amorites, and how does Bible portray them? To take us back to the early Bronze era and the rise of the Amorite age, Helen and Lloyd are joined by the well-fared Time Traveller, Dr Dylan Johnson.

Dr Dylan R. Johnson is a Lecturer in Ancient Near Eastern History at Cardiff University and an expert on all things Mesopotamian. He is the author of Sovereign Authority and the Elaboration of Law in the Bible and the Ancient Near East (2020, Mohr Siebeck) and is writing Lawgiving in the Ancient Near East for Cambridge University Press.
