LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED! 

This weeks episode I issue a warning both on the template, the intro and the description. I do this becasue there may be some Christians who might find what they hear in this episode not too favorable. If you are very religious this episode might not be for you! Because this week we discuss the academic side of The Life of Jesus Christ as famously portrayed in the bible, and what it actually may have been like and the early years of Christianity. This might not be for the most religious out there so please keep it in mind! Thank you. If you want to find out about the "Historical Jesus", take a look at this weeks episode on "Well That Aged Well".
