Avi and Stephen take a break from their historical explorations to discuss repentance, atonement and forgiveness. The Jewish High Holy Days are upon us and these ideas are central to them, so a discussion about how each faith tradition deals with them is timely and eye opening for us, and hopefully for you too.

Stephen and Avi discuss the Christian liturgical calendar, the Sermon on the Mount, and how reading the bible leads Christians to their practices today. A side order of Pharisees rounds out the conversation.

Join Avi and Stephen as they discuss Bible translations, and a passage at the end of Deuteronomy (Deut. 30:11). Things get interesting when they move to discussing how Jews and Christians interpret the bible and live with it daily.

Make sure to stay tuned for trees that move and rivers that reverse their flow! Our next episode will discuss Matthew 5:17-20, so do your homework and read it in time for episode 4.
