The Last Days of Jesus: History and Faith

This PODCAST presents a discussion of the historical figure of Jesus and the events leading up to his crucifixion. It examines historical and biblical sources, including the canonical and apocryphal Gospels, Tacitus, Suetonius, and Josephus, evaluating their reliability and the contexts in which they were written. The role of Pontius Pilate, the Sanhedrin and the controversial figure of Judas in Jewish and Roman politics of the time are also analyzed. The discussion also addresses the evolution of Christianity and its impact on history and monotheistic religion. Finally, a more complex and nuanced perspective on figures such as Judas is proposed, challenging traditional interpretations.
