About this Episode
Few creatures are as shrouded in mystery as the Sasquatch, more commonly known as Bigfoot. For decades, and perhaps even centuries, people in North America have claimed encounters with him. There are so many cases and they are so well documented that they cannot be cast aside simply as hearsay or rumor. Yet after all this time, we are no closer to understanding who this creature might be…or are we.
In this book, researcher and biblical scholar Adam Stokes asks us to look for answers to the identity of Bigfoot not in present, contemporary encounters but in the past. In turning to ancient texts such as the Bible and other works, we find persons and figures whose description eerily mirrors those of the Sasquatch. These are our best sources in determining the origin and nature of North America’s most infamous cryptid.
Adam Oliver Stokes (born 1981) has degrees in religion from Duke University and Yale Divinity School. He has published on a variety of topics including biblical studies, Mormon studies, Classical studies and ancient American history. His work has been featured in numerous journals and magazines including the Classical Outlook, Journal of Book of Mormon Studies and Ancient American magazine. He is the author of FROM EGYPT TO OHIO: A SEMITIC ORIGIN FOR THE GIANTS OF NORTH AMERICA and PERSPECTIVES ON THE OLD TESTAMENT: DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES FROM ANCIENT TO MODERN TIMES. He has also appeared on multiple podcasts including EARTH ANCIENTS, LOST ORIGINS, BROADCAST TEAM ALPHA, EXPLORING THE BIZARRE and MY ALIEN LIFE. He currently teaches high school Latin in New Jersey and a course on the Old Testament at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
