PODCAST – The UnConqueror – Yeshua in Context
The last part of Isaiah is about a figure who has been described as the Anointed Conqueror, a messianic figure whose robe is dipped in blood, who brings vindication, but who also sets the oppressed free and binds up the … Continue reading
PODCAST: Gospel Knowledge – Yeshua in Context
I start with some thoughts about principles for a more accurate reading experience in the gospels. Then I share some (not all) of the questions from a “Gospel Proficiency Test” I posted today at YeshuaInContext.com Shouldn’t the gospels become so … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Desolating Sacrilege
Yeshua spoke of a coming event, the Desolating Sacrilege (Abomination of Desolation is another common translation). What was he referring to? Caligula’s intent to put a statue in the Temple in 40 CE? The coming Jewish war with Rome in … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – The Joy of Reading
I had an experience last night that gave me an idea for this podcast. I’ve been closely reading the gospels and books on the gospels and books on the historical inquiry into the life and message of Yeshua for several … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Demon Fail
What gospel gives the highest view of Yeshua’s exalted identity? John, of course. But after John, one of the synoptics stands high above the rest. That would be Mark. This story happens after the confession of Peter, and the rebuke … Continue reading

Apocalyptic is a type of literature that sees the world in a particular way: hidden reality . . . a veil over meaning . . . secrets for those who know how to seek them . . . more than … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Disciples, 2 Versions
There are two very different versions of the story of the call of the initial disciples. They perfectly illustrate the difference storytelling makes in the gospels and how storytelling forms a message. The two versions actually tell us a lot … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Women as Eyewitnesses
At the end of each of the four gospels, in the scenes at the cross, the burial, and the empty tomb of Yeshua, we find something different: the sudden presence of women who are listed by name. The concentration of … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Failure and Faith
The story of a failure on the disciples’ part turns into a lesson on the secret identity of Yeshua in Mark. But in Matthew it becomes a lesson on faith as the way we are united with God and Yeshua. … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context, Kingdom Concepts

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Reasons 4 Faith
Based on the four gospels and the life of Yeshua, what are some solid reasons to believe in Yeshua? I list seven. And the list may surprise you. It’s about realism, advanced notions in the gospels, foreshadowings hard to explain … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Questions, Yeshua as Exorcist
What does it mean that the first biblical stories of exorcisms come in the life of Yeshua? And after Yeshua, we hear only a little about exorcisms? What does this say about his messianic mission? How does Luke 13:32 give … Continue reading
PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Questions, The Heralding Yeshua
Chapter 3 of Yeshua in Context is called “The Heralding Yeshua.” Yeshua was a herald of the kingdom, both as a prophet and as the bringer of the kingdom. Examining a text in Mark which ironically has bookmarks with first … Continue reading

PODCAST: Would Jesus Do That? Sacrifices and Yeshua
Would Jesus do that? Imagine asking a typical, modern day Christian, “Did Yeshua ever enter the Temple in Jerusalem and offer an animal’s blood on the altar for the cleansing of sin?” The gospels never depict him doing so. Why? … Continue reading
PODCAST – Yeshua in Context: Questions, Unexpected Messiah
Chapter 2 of Yeshua in Context is called “The Unexpected Messiah.” It refers to the story in Luke 4, where we find Yeshua in his own hometown. He challenges his audience by claiming messianic identity and then denies what seemed … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Messiah’s Story, Part 2
Yeshua’s story, his life and message, his aims and identity, must mean something. What are we to make of it? Many people ignore Yeshua’s story, a touching tale that makes little difference in a busy life. But Yeshua said “remain … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Messiah’s Story, Pt 1
Stories are how we think about life, truth meaning. We know Yeshua primarily through stories since we didn’t see him in person. What can a story do? How much can a story affect us? What response could a story call … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Resurrection Mystery
Perplexity. Remembrance. Mystery. Continuity. These four themes are what Luke emphasizes in his resurrection account. All four gospels agree that the empty tomb was discovered on the first day of the week, that Mary Magdalene and other women discovered it, … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Resurrection Absences
N.T. Wright concludes that the resurrection narratives in the four gospels develop from early accounts, accounts in which the startling fact of the resurrection is still raw, undigested (Resurrection, 610-15). Assuming Wright is correct, this feature of the gospel resurrection … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Crucifixion Irony
Mark’s account of Yeshua’s death is punctuated with irony. The story of the innocent sufferer in the Hebrew Bible is interlaced with the agony and incongruity of the punishment of the Son of God. The sky darkens with God’s anger, … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Friend of Sinners
More than even the other two synoptic gospels, Luke makes it a theme that Yeshua befriended sinners and the lowly, the am ha’aretz, the poor people of the land. Some have overblown this theme, even suggesting that Yeshua did away … Continue reading

PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Messiah’s Sabbath Work
