This week we are re-broadcasting a “best of Listen for the Word” episode as we gear up for Year C on Matthew. In our podcast we discuss the beginning of what is known as the “Apocalyptic Discourse,” where Jesus speaks about the coming destruction of the Temple, as well as the signs of the coming of the “Son of Man.” We also discuss the various ways apocalyptic thinking affected the church through the middle ages and the reformation up to today, particularly in the form of dispensationalism.
