Special Episode: Jesus Against the Power of Temples and Priests
•
Bert Newton
This is a long episode, but a very important one. In this episode, I make clear something that I have been saying throughout the series, that Jesus, as portrayed in Matthew, is opposed to the power of Temples and Priests (all of them, not just in Israel).
This episode contains longer musical interludes (to break it up and give listeners time to absorb the concepts), all composed by David Martyn.
