    101. Jerusalem

    101. Jerusalem

    Christianity has a close bond with the city of Jerusalem, the Historical Jesus walked its streets and entered its building. It was in this holy city that at eight days of age, he was dedicated in the Great Temple according to Jewish custom. As a man from Nazareth, he preached at the Temple and eventually was arrested, detained, tried, crucified and buried in the city. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the early Christian Church, with its headquarters in Jerusalem. The ancient city has been ruled by many different empires over the past 3000 years, and has profound connections with the three great Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

    EXTRA 19. Nezahualcoyotl of Mesoamerica

    EXTRA 19. Nezahualcoyotl of Mesoamerica

    Prince Nezahualcoyotl was a scholar, warrior, architect, poet and eventual ruler of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian era Mesoamerica during the century preceding Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The Valley of Mexico is a highlands plateau surrounded by mountains and volcanoes (coterminous with present-day Mexico City) that was the centre for several pre-Columbian civilizations. Generations later, Conquistadors arrived in the New World. They were the cavaliers, knights, soldiers and explorers of the Iberian Empires during the Age of Exploration who sailed the Oceans, conquering territory, opening trade routes, and bringing colonialism to much of the world, including America. Enjoy this HISTORICAL JESUS Extra!

TukeyBird ,

Fair balance

Mark tackles a large task of balancing the historical aspects of the life of Christ with the faith of Christians. There is so much content and to find a balance is tough - Mark does an admirable job!

Joseph Pascone ,

Interesting topic!

This show is a great way to explore religious scripts with respect to documented history. It’s a huge subject to tackle, and I look forward to hearing more!

NomdeGuerra ,

Great Perspective

I enjoy this podcast because Mark gives us a wide variety of perspectives on his podcast. He challenges me to think in different ways, not just the way I believe. I especially enjoy that Mark has on Garry Stevens!
