Summary

 I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.Copyright 2017 . All rights reserved.

    10.8 What the Blind Man Heard
    Apr 15 2026

    The man who had been born blind may not have seen Jesus and his disciples walking towards him, but he heard them. He heard what the disciples asked and what the teacher replied. What was he thinking and feeling as they were all talking about him, but no one was talking to him?

    Based on John 9.

    10.7 Now That's How You Make an Entrance
    Apr 1 2026

    This is the story of how the author of the Gospel of Matthew came to make his strange adaptations and expansions of the story of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Why on earth did he insist that Jesus mounted and rode two donkeys at once?
