Podcast 234 -- Christmas 2021 -- Did Someone Say Road Trip? Matthew 2:1-12

For our annual Christmas podcast, we look at the journey of the Magi, an expedition of faith that has captured the imagination of Christians and non-Christians alike since the nativity story has been told. Who were the Magi? What motivated them to pack up and travel as far as a thousand miles to investigate an astrological portent that was only peripheral to their own religious and national background? Along the way we discuss comets, planetary conjunctions and various other astronomical phenomena, and contrast the open-minded curiosity of foreign non-believers with the cynicism and indifference of the ruling religious and political elite.December 21, 2021Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper Hosted on Acast.
