Just wanted to share that the last 4 episodes of Lord Of Spirits have been awesome episodes. They serve as great overview into:
-What 2nd temple jews were expecting as a messiah and how Jesus fulfills it.
-Who was Israel and who is Israel today (complete with tidbits about how dispensationalism is wrong)
-The origin of synagogues coming from the exile return and the prototype of martyrs being Eleazer in Maccabees (and why its a significant loss in protestant bibles for excluding the books they did).
-Pharisees being the 'good guys' trying to live by the Torah against the Hasmonean dynasty descendancy.
-Constant readdressing and taking down Penal Substitionary Atonement as being completely unsupported in the OT as a way of how sacrifices work and how Christ's sacrifice worked.
-Who is exactly the root and who are the branches grafted in on salvation.
Here is the least recent episode that kicks off this mini-series. Listen to it and then move forward into more recent episodes ending with 'Hasmoneans?, No I'm Broke.'

Was a great binge during long memorial day drives.
