About this episode

This episode explores the accusations against Jesus regarding sorcery and examines historical perspectives from the Pharisees to the Talmud.

For nearly two thousand years, Jesus’ enemies have made the same astonishing claim. They never denied His miracles. They claimed He performed them through sorcery. In this episode of The Dancing Toaster, Pastor Nelly follows that accusation from the Pharisees to the pagan philosopher Celsus, and finally into the pages of the Babylonian Talmud. Along the way, we uncover censored passages, medieval book burnings, ancient polemics, and a question that refuses to die: If Jesus wasn’t empowered by God, where did His power come from? Sorcerer or Savior. The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained. I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
