Episode 30 - King Josiah: Famous in the Bible, Languishing in Anonymity in Public Imagination (Part 3 of 3)

EPISODE SUMMARY

In today's episode, I finish discussing King Josiah's story and discuss his life and death as recounted in Second Chronicles.

EPISODE NOTES

Hello and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.

Today, I will be wrapping up the story we started two episodes ago: The tale of King Josiah.

In those episodes, I discussed Josiah's early life, how he became king of Judah, and Huldah's prophecy.

I also pointed out something peculiar: Despite Josiah's apparent rockstar position in the Bible, he is all but forgotten by the church. 

Today, King Josiah's story takes on a whole new spin. I will be discussing him according to Second Chronicles, Chapters 34 and 35, which gives a completely different perspective on Josiah's life and his death.

Curious to know how Josiah's story ends? 

Tune in to this week's episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew to find out!
