About this listen

On this podcast, I look at Mark 3:1-6, where we read about Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath, and how that affects a group of Pharisees.

I argue that Jesus attempts to use philosophy to reason with these Pharisees, which shows us the blessedness of philosophy, but that the reaction of the Pharisees reveals the limits of philosophy.

I mention my dissertation (published by ProQuest, 2024) in this podcast. Here's a link to it for those who are curious: https://research.library.fordham.edu/dissertations/AAI31236250/
