About this episode
Shane explores the parallels between the parable of Lazarus and the account of the raising of Lazarus, featuring discussions with Richard Bauckham and T.C. Schmidt.
On this episode, Shane highlights some of the intriguing parallels that exist between the parable of Lazarus recorded in Luke 16 and the account of the raising of Lazarus in John 11. Since both texts involve a man named Lazarus as well as the subject of resurrection, it’s worth considering that these two stories may in fact be related. During this exploration, Shane talks with Richard Bauckham, author of Jesus & The Eyewitnesses , and T.C. Schmidt, author of Josephus & Jesus.
