Mark and Eric riff on sacred trees in world religions and in the ancient Near East. Then they ask how the biblical writer puts the stock image of a sacred tree to work in the story of the first people in the Bible. On the back end of the show Mark and Eric discuss a listener question on ancient and modern conceptions of healing and miracles.
