S1 Episode 11: Anne Sexton and the Humanity of Jesus
from Wild Olive · host Matt Byrne, Nick Stubblefield, Jeanne Petrolle, Jennifer Bird
This week, Jeanne and Jennifer explore the poem "Jesus Walking" by Anne Sexton, which refers to the "Temptation in the Wilderness" scene from Luke Chapter 4. The poem and the Gospel scene engage with concepts of divinity, humanity, temptation, and the idea of mission. The idea of "temptation" can be thought of as anything that diverts or distracts a person away from their mission. Help support Wild Olive, Donate Here! Follow us here!
