In this episode of Going deeper we begin our conversation on the book of James. It’s one of the most quoted books of the new testament, but it’s also one of the most confusing and controversial. Allow us to shed a little light on it, or maybe even make you more confused.
The book of revelation is fascinating, encouraging, and troubling all at the same time.

To the everyday observer, having the leader of a religious movement get killed by the government should put a stop to the spread of that movement. But it wasn’t so with Jesus. Jesus’ death on the cross paved the way for his message to spread over the entire world, and in the end, be the ultimate hope for humanity. Do you have questions for us?
