  • The Not So Silent 400 Years

    The 400 years between the last words of the Tanakh (or Old Testament) and the Gospels are absolutely critical to understanding who the Jews of the New Testament were and what they were expecting of G-d, the Messiah and of themselves.

  • In the Beginning

    Of course, an hour is not enough to cover each and every story in the scriptures, but I did my best to cover the major moments that would define the Nation of Israel as a people and G-d's Covenantal relationship with them.

About Jesus Curious

From the publisher's feed

Are you curious about Jesus? Not the Jesus you've seen in movies or heard about in Sunday school - But the Jesus who lived as a Jew in the first century in a Roman province, spent the first part of his life in Egypt and whose words and actions brought with them context from Jewish and Roman cultures he was surrounded by? You're in the right place. In this podcast we're reading the book of Matthew, the gospel that was written in Hebrew specifically intended for a Jewish audience. Each week I will read through a chapter with special guest and we will discuss the all the history and cultural references taking place, while also having some fun.
