33 · Resource
Hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook begin a two-part examination of the life of Jesus, framing the subject as both historically crucial and theologically fraught. They read Luke's infancy narrative, then discuss why treating Jesus as a historical figure is complicated by faith claims and later Christian elaborations.
