    Don't miss this one. Come Time Travel with me. I wanted to share this podcast interview I did recently with Professors Helen Bond and Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones  on their amazing show "Biblical Time Machine." They asked me to take them back to the first century CE, the time of Jesus, and to explore the the historical Mary --not the ransformed Perpetual Virgin, Mother of God,  Queen of Heaven of much later Christian Theology.  Enjoy the trip!  Here is their website for your exploration! https://www.biblicaltimemachine.com

    What Do Scholars Mean by the "Historical" Jesus?

    In this interview with Megan Lewis, host of the Youtube channel  @DigitalHammurabi   I offer an overview of a more extensive lecture on the topic of "The Making of a Messiah," I discuss some of the methods scholars use to peer through our historical and material evidence to try to get at what we call the "historical figure of Jesus," not so much what people came to believe theologically, but what he in fact was in his own time, within his Jewish-Greco-Roman contexts.  Be sure and check out Megan's Youtube channel for much more! She and I have done several interviews and I find her to be among the best interlocutors out there.  For a more extensive treatment and a free link to my major published article on the subject, see: jamestabor.com/messiahmaking https://youtu.be/M-7l73i1DTw

    Lost in Translation: Did Isaiah Call the Messiah the Mighty God and Everlasting Father?
