Unveiling the Salt of the Earth: A Journey Through History and Theology
<p>Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: <a href="http://radiosoapbox.com" target="_blank">http://radiosoapbox.com</a></p><p>Mischa is the author of the critically acclaimed book&nbsp; "Is it Organic"?<br />He earned a B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan where he specialized in the history of nitrogen for fertilizer and warfare. He then worked as an <em>Advanced Organic Farm and Process Inspector</em>, inspecting over 500 organic farms and processing facilities on both sides of the border. He stopped inspecting when he realized there was no appetite in the industry to eliminate fraud and gross negligence, nor to improve the quality of organic food. He now works as a public speaker, political columnist and radio host.<br /><br /><br />In this episode of the Shelley Tasker Show, Shelley is joined by co-host Mallificus Scott and special guest Misha Popoff. The discussion delves into the fascinating intersections of history and religion, with a particular focus on the role of saltpeter in biblical times. Misha, an expert in the history of nitrogen, presents a compelling argument that the biblical references to 'salt of the earth' actually pertain to saltpeter, a key component in both gunpowder and fertiliser. This revelation challenges traditional interpretations and suggests a deeper understanding of biblical texts.<br /><br />The conversation also explores the historical use of gunpowder, drawing connections from ancient biblical events to more modern historical contexts. Misha shares insights into how saltpeter might have been used in biblical battles, such as the fall of Jericho and the exploits of Gideon and Elijah. The episode is a thought-provoking journey through history, science, and theology, offering listeners a fresh perspective on ancient scriptures and their relevance today.</p>
