This is the Baimah podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we venture

0:12.0

further into the ideas from the book, Understanding the Jewish Roots of Christianity,

0:16.4

discussing chapters two and three on how the authors of the New Testament used Tenoch and whether

0:21.9

Jesus intended to establish a new religion. Yeah, I just really appreciated this book and

0:28.1

thought it was great fodder for a few episodes worth of discussion. So probably take a couple

0:37.2

chapters at a time here and there. And I don't think we're going to do every single chapter in here,

0:42.0

but yeah, just to remind ourselves, we had our conversation with Jen in last week's episode and

1:41.8

and you found this episode, like what what are we doing here? What is the context for this conversation?

1:47.9

What a great prompt. Now that we're in session six, I always kind of forget about this and I got

1:53.6

an email just today. Somebody that was listening to our chosen commentary from episodes back and

2:02.8

they said I haven't listened to the rest of your body of work and they were expressing some

2:08.0

confusion on some things. So yeah, if you've stumbled into our podcast, what you're really listening
