​The story of Jesus includes all kinds of characters. Some who claimed to be saints proved to be scoundrels. And some started out as scoundrels and ended up saints.

Plus, all the week’s headlines from the Middle East—and your questions, too! Join us for The Land and the Book.

And you can hear those stories—exclusively—on this week’s edition of The Land and the Book. Join Charlie Dyer and Jon Gauger for The Land and the Book.

​The Mount of Beatitudes. Most of us can picture it in our minds. There, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jesus taught some radical ideas. Skye Jethani asks, “What if Jesus was serious?” How would our lives be different if we took the Sermon on the Mount at face value? Don’t miss this stimulating conversation on the next edition of The Land and the Book. What if Jesus was serious?

​The Old Testament is filled with festivals of remembrance and celebration. Today, we often view these events as full of rules and regulations that have nothing to do with our lives in 2020.

This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll explore The Seven Feasts, with Erin Davis. Join us.
