Biblical Reenchantment, a biblical theology and divine council worldview podcast
The Biblical Reenchantment Podcast is a biblical theology and divine council worldview podcast that explores the supernatural and symbolic nature of Scripture within the ancient Near Eastern (ANE) context. Rather than reducing the Bible to abstract doctrine or moral lessons, this podcast helps recover the cosmic drama at the heart of God’s Word, where dragons, giants, and rebellious powers oppose Christ’s reign—and where Christ’s victory is proclaimed.
Each episode carefully explores biblical theology and biblical symbology from the ANE background of Scripture. Host Anthony Delgado connects these supernatural and symbolic patterns to a biblical worldview, strengthening faith and worship. For those longing to rediscover the enchanted vision of the Bible, the Biblical Reenchantment Podcast expounds the story of God’s kingdom, faithfully and imaginatively. We examine Scripture through the lens of biblical theology and the divine council to reclaim unseen realities that frame the Gospel and affirm Christ’s present kingship as the center of hope.
#21 The Way of Eden and the Bible’s Garden Story
Eden doesn’t disappear after Genesis 3. In this episode of the Biblical Reenchantment podcast, I sit down with pastor and Two Trees Podcast host John Dillon to talk about his book The Way of Eden—and why the Garden of Eden functions as a theme that keeps shaping the biblical story long after Adam and Eve leave the garden. We’ll trace how Eden imagery shows up in exile, spiritual warfare, and everyday Christian life. What does it mean to resist the darkness without turning our neighbors into enemies? How do “pockets of Eden” form in households, friendships, and local churches? And how does Scripture—like a river in the wasteland—grow resilience in a noisy, unstable world? We also explore dominion vs. dominance, the Bible’s use of tree and river imagery, and why the fruit of the Spirit is part of how Christ’s people bear witness to the kingdom of God right now.
