About this episode
In this episode, Dr. Gerrit Dirkmaat discusses the lesser-known Pratt brothers, the legend of Joseph of Arimathea, and continues the King Follett sermon series.
In this episode, we answer a litter’s questions who wrote while in ”DEEP” labor asking about the lesser-known Pratt brothers and an audio submission from Filer, Idaho about the legend that Joseph of Arimathea brought the teenage Jesus to Cornwall. Gerrit traces the idea to William of Malmesbury’s 12th-century history of Glastonbury and its tangle of Arthurian folklore. We close with part three of our King Follett sermon series, where Gerrit warns against apologists who lean on the Thomas Bullock account’s apparent mistranscription to claim Joseph taught God was God from all eternity, arguing that you can’t play historian with one discrepant source against five consistent ones, and that watering down what Joseph actually taught to appease traditional Christian critics is selling your birthright for a mess of pottage that won’t even fill you up.
