Podcast 5.15: Jesus as a Messianic King?
Posted by Phil Harland. Categories: Historical Jesus , Podcast[3] Comments
Here I discuss first-century Judean concepts relating to an anointed one, or messiah, particularly a kingly messiah, and discuss contemporary figures who were viewed as kings. This is part of series 5 (The Historical Jesus in Context) of the Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean podcast.
