What can Bible stories about animals tells us about power dynamics in the ancient world? A lot, it turns out! Suzanna Millar (edwebprofiles.ed.ac.uk/profile/dr-suzanna-millar) joins us to talk about the fascinating new field of Animal Studies and how the Hebrew Bible can open windows into studying human-animal power dynamics 2500 years in the past.
