Talking about the Things That Matter Most on Mar. 29

4:00 – Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony
In Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, Richard Bauckham argues that the four Gospels are closely based on eyewitness testimony of those who knew Jesus. He challenges the prevailing assumption that the accounts of Jesus circulated as "anonymous community traditions," asserting instead that they were transmitted in the name of the original eyewitnesses. To drive home this controversial point, Bauckham draws on internal literary evidence, study of personal names in the first century, and recent developments in the understanding of oral traditions. We look at the Gospels as eyewitness testimony.

4:40 – Jesus' Journey to the Cross: A Love Unto Death
As we enter Holy Week, today we accompany Jesus through the events of his passion, death, and resurrection. Jeanne Kun helps us follow Jesus on his jubilant entry into Jerusalem, sit with him during his last supper with his apostles, pray with him during his agony in Gethsemane, and stand at the foot of the cross on Golgotha where-with a love unto death-he offered his life for our salvation. She joins us in studio.

5:00 – Deep Conversion/ Deep Prayer – A Holy Week Primer
One of the great spiritual directors of the Church today – Fr. Thomas Dubay helps us get started in this Holy Week. As we enter this week, Fr. Dubay gives us an overview of the spiritual life and journey for anyone seeking to grow in the love of God and neighbor. How to stay Deep in Prayer and experience Deep Conversion this Triduum is his topic.
