The Eighth Day of Christmas: Pharaoh and the Magicians
January 1, 2019
Alastair Roberts
Over the Christmas period, I am posting videos exploring biblical echoes and symmetries in the stories of the nativity in the gospels. In this eighth video I discuss the court of Herod and its relationship to the struggle of the book of Exodus. I have much more to say about these themes in my book, Echoes of Exodus: https://amzn.to/2RupkRo.
