Description

The Pharisees are one of the most familiar names in the ancient world, but are they also one of the most misunderstood?Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Helen Bond to step back into first-century Judea, where the Pharisees were debating law, purity and resurrection under foreign rule. They look at how much power the Pharisees really had, their debates with Jesus in the Gospels, and how focussed they were on the idea of a 'messiah'.We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets here.MOREJohn the BaptistListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPontius PilateListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Tristan Hughes.
