Ep. 113 - The Road To Emmaus (Apr 23, 2023)
Our Gospel is the famous story of the road to Emmaus. Two of Jesus’ followers are returning home after the tumultuous events of Holy Week only to encounter the Risen Lord Himself. We’ll look to an early Church historian to uncover the identity of the two disciples. Comparing our story to the Feeding of the Five Thousand we’ll note several parallels between the two and we’ll also spend some time exploring the objectively vulnerable nature of faith in Christ. Lastly, we’ll compare the Emmaus encounter with Adam and Eve’s sin in Genesis 3 and we’ll note key differences between the outcomes of the two stories.
In this episode discover:
- Who Eusebius, an early Church historian, identifies as the two disciples in our narrative (spoiler: they may have been relatives of Jesus)
- A detail in our Gospel that would have fulfilled the Jewish requirement for credibility of legal witnesses
- An interesting observation one Biblical scholar makes about Luke’s chronology and how it relates to the keeping of our modern-day liturgical calendar
- Whether Jesus purposely prevented the disciples from recognizing Him or if something else was at play
- How Josephus, a first century Jewish historian, describes Jesus and the similarities that description has with Cleopas’
- How the story of the road to Emmaus mirrors the twofold pattern of every Mass

They all with one consent pronounced Symeon, the son of Clopas, of whom the Gospel also makes mention; to be worthy of the episcopal throne of that parish.

TMR 201 : Audioblog : Dr. William Lane Craig : Reflections On Caesarea
In place of our scheduled interview with Vanessa Beeley—which has had to be postponed until next week due to the dreaded summer lurgy—I use the opportunity to speak about upcoming shows and share an exclusive talk by Dr. William Lane Craig.
Back in 2011, my wife and I had the opportunity to go with Reasonable Faith (the organisation headed up by Dr. Craig) on a guided tour of Israel. On many of the evenings back at the hotel Dr. Craig would give a talk, sharing his reflections upon the historical sites we had visited, and commenting from his knowledge of biblical and non-biblical ancient writings. In this particular presentation, Dr. Craig reflects upon our visit to Caesarea Maritima.
All being well, the postponed interview with Vanessa Beeley should be posted next week.

JAMES: The Goal of Salvation
On Sunday, September 6th, 2015....Pastor Michael Miano preached about a "faith that works" to the congregation at Blue Point Bible Church. Seeking to understand James with a proper audience relevance, and demonstrating the contextual details, Pastor Miano helped understand the primary 1st century "scattered Jews" relevance, as well as exhort the 21st century church to walk worthy of the fulfilled hope of Israel through Jesus Christ.
Jude's Grandsons (AD 62-66)
In book three of the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, he tells the story of the two grandsons of Jude (the brother of Jesus) who were arrested and brought before the Roman court to investigate their aspirations to the Davidic throne in Jerusalem. There are some historical problems associated with this story, which we explore and try to resolve here. There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast.
