Today’s Episode:
Returning to the podcast (by popular demand) is Benjamin Birely, an American-Israeli PhD candidate and researcher in ancient historical texts at L’Orientale University in Naples, Italy.
Today is Christmas and to mark the holiday, Benjamin takes us back more than 2,000 years to a land very familiar, to guide listeners through the Jewish environment that defined Jerusalem in 1 A.D and the world of Jesus Christ. The story of that period is one of factionalism, religious and political tensions, civil war, and geopolitical drama – and therefore one that will resonate with listeners today.
