Episodes 73 to 133 turn to the Gospels. The session opens with the “Silent Years” between the testaments: the synagogue, Hellenism, and the Jewish groups of Jesus’ day (Sadducees, Herodians, Essenes, Zealots and Pharisees). After an introduction to each of the four Gospels, it follows the life and teaching of Jesus, largely through Matthew, with extended time in the Sermon on the Mount and the parables.
