Previous Episode: Peter tries to keep Jesus from dying. Why was this story told?
We chat about a gospel account that didn't make it into the Bible, The Infancy Gospel of Thomas. This book tells us about Jesus' childhood. What was it like to be a God-Man discovering one's own power? What was it like to know more than all your teachers? What happens if you accidentally bump into the shoulder of a young Jesus? Well...you die, that's what happens. So what can we learn from this interesting book? Do we take it seriously? Was it ancient commentary on more authoritative gospel account? Perhaps it was just fireside entertainment--like modern day movies or tv? Listen in as we chat about all this.
