Catholic Waypoint

One of the most widely recognised names in human history belongs to a man who ruled no kingdom, commanded no army, and ended his life on a Roman cross. By every measure Rome had developed for dealing with troublemakers, his story should have ended there. It didn't. In this episode, we put Jesus of Nazareth back into the world he actually lived in — a world of mass crucifixions, failed messiahs, and a population living under an occupation it believed God had not forgotten about. We look at what the hostile witnesses said, what the historians recorded, and why the question of what happened after the crucifixion is one that two thousand years of scholarship hasn't been able to close.Thank you for watching.Follow me on Youtube.
