Episode 61: Acts 24-26 - Felix, Festus, and Agrippa

Dec 30, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall

In Acts 24-26, Paul stands before three Roman backed rulers, Felix, Festus, & Agrippa II. You may have read this story not really understanding who these rulers were. If that’s you, you are not alone. Most people gloss right over these Roman sychophants. So sit back, relax, and let’s talk about the men who judged Paul before he went to Rome.
