Kylie Crabbe welcomes Prof Brendan Byrne SJ, Jesuit Priest and renowned scholar of the New Testament as guest to the podcast. We discuss the Habakkuk and 2 Thessalonians readings more briefly before turning to discussion of the reading about Zacchaeus in Luke. Themes across the episode include: finding hope in turbulent political times, eschatology, conversion of communities (not just individuals), salvation that comes to Zacchaeus, meals, “Lukan triangles”—whereby episodes in Luke show a contrast or challenge in how two different people or groups respond to the good news or an interaction with Jesus, and more! Listeners might also be especially interested in Brendan’s wonderful (and highly accessible) commentary on Luke’s Gospel: The Hospitality of God: A Reading of Luke’s Gospel.
