Episode 1493: Acts of the Apostles (Part 7, Ch 3-Paul) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The tribunal next hears from Yosef bar Shimon, a Pharisee who studied alongside Saul under the renowned teacher Gamaliel. Yosef remembers Saul as an exceptional student: intensely devout, intellectually rigorous, and unwilling to treat theological questions as merely academic. Once Saul believed that a conclusion was true, he acted upon it. Varro begins to establish a pattern that will become increasingly important to the prosecution: Saul’s intelligence and sincerity could make his convictions
Episode 1492: Acts of the Apostles (Part 7, Ch 2 - Paul) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The tribunal turns to Paul’s beginnings through the testimony of Demetrios, a prosperous merchant who knew him in Tarsus when he was still called Saul. Demetrios describes Tarsus as a cosmopolitan city where Greek, Roman, and Jewish cultures met. Saul grew up comfortably navigating those different worlds. He was Jewish in conviction, Roman by citizenship, and familiar with Greek language, philosophy, and culture. Varro uses Saul’s upbringing to strengthen the prosecution’s case. Paul cannot clai
Episode 1491: Acts of the Apostles (Part 7, Chapter 1-Paul) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rome is still reeling from the devastating fire of AD 64, and Nero’s government has turned its attention toward the growing Christian movement. Into this atmosphere comes Paul of Tarsus, a Roman citizen, Jewish teacher, missionary, and prisoner whose preaching has carried the name of Jesus throughout much of the eastern Empire.

Read excerpt
As the last surviving member of the Twelve, John reflects on what it means not merely to survive but to “remain” as a calling. In youth, he wanted action, prominence, and a place near the center of the kingdom he expected Jesus to establish. Decades later, he understands that the center was never the dramatic moment but the truth to which those moments pointed, and that truth requires witnesses willing to carry it after the excitement has passed. Central to John's understanding is James, whose m
Episode 1489- Acts of the Apostles (Part 6, Chapter 9) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now an old man exiled on Patmos, John takes over the story that his mother can no longer tell. He has outlived Salome, James, Peter, and most of the companions who shared the years with Jesus, and he finds himself the last surviving member of the Twelve. Yet he refuses to turn that fact into a complaint. Exile under Domitian has separated him from the churches and the active ministry that occupied his later life, but Patmos unexpectedly gives him something he had rarely possessed: silence. With
