About this episode
This episode explores the historical and biblical significance of Jericho, one of the oldest cities on earth.
Jericho is one of the oldest cities on earth, and it plays a key role in the Bible. Set along a major road leading into the Promised Land, Jericho has always been a border town on the edge of the desert. Joshua and the army of Israel conquered it by God's power in the Old Testament; Jesus and his disciples healed the blind and converted a tax collector in the New Testament. The story of Jericho is one of redemption, God calling the least likely people into his kingdom.
