NIMROD HAD nothing to do with Babel or Babylon\u2014and they had nothing to do with one another. This is probably not what you\u2019ve heard about the first great (human) rebel in the Bible, but if this week\u2019s guest is correct, it\u2019s historically accurate. Dr. Douglas Petrovich, author of the new book Nimrod the Empire Builder: Architect of Shock and Awe, explains how identifying Nimrod as the world\u2019s first empire builder\u2014a Mesopotamian king whose domain stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean\u2014brings the notorious rebel from the mists of time onto the pages of history.

You can help Dr. Petrovich get the book into print and reprint his previous book, the groundbreaking Origins of the Hebrews, at Doug\u2019s crowdfunding campaign: indiegogo.com/projects/nimrod-the-empire-builder-origins-of-the-hebrews#/
