Commonly translated as “God Almighty,” El Shaddai has long shaped religious belief around an all powerful, transcendent deity. However, when the original Hebrew roots and ancient Near Eastern context are examined without theological filters, a very different picture begins to emerge.

Drawing on Mauro Biglino’s work as a Vatican approved biblical translator and Paul Wallis’s background as a senior churchman and scholar of ancient myth, this conversation challenges the accuracy of traditional translations. Together, they explore how El Shaddai may not refer to an omnipotent god at all, but instead to a powerful regional entity, one among many “elohim” associated with specific territories and peoples.

Through close readings of Genesis, Exodus, Job, and Kings, the episode reveals a recurring pattern of competing powers, geographical jurisdictions, and human populations governed by these beings. This reframes familiar biblical stories as part of a much older narrative involving conflict, control, and what the hosts describe as competing interests over “Project Earth” and “Project Humanity.”

The discussion also confronts the theological consequences of mistranslation, including how the idea of an almighty, violent, hierarchical god has influenced belief systems, ethics, and warfare for centuries. By leaving ancient names untranslated and allowing the texts to speak for themselves, Wallis and Biglino invite listeners to reconsider humanity’s origins, the nature of the divine, and our place in the cosmos.

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in biblical history, ancient civilizations, alternative interpretations of scripture, and the hidden layers of humanity’s deepest stories.
