Ark Audio

On this edition of the Ark Audio Book Club, we talk about the new testament gospels of Mark and John These give oddly different but strangely similar accounts of a young (though middle aged by the standards of the time) political and spiritual radical called Jesus of Nazareth. He rolls up to various towns accruing a reputation as a healer, a teacher and a miracle worker and disciples on the way. But this does not go over well with the local religious bigwigs, the Pharisees, who plot with the help of the Roman administration and one of Jesus’s own disciples, to have Jesus executed for blasphemy for claiming to be the son of god. Little do they know, however, Jesus is on to them but also has no desire to stop them. As he plans to die and then come back from the dead for the redemption of humanity. On the panel this month we have first time Ark Audio Book Club participants Ilinca Cretu and the return of Giovanna Alessandro. Hosted by Macon Holt
