What Got Jesus Angry? – Matthew 23 with Jenna DeWitt

Episode Highlights

• What Jesus knew would get him killed;
• Why he was fiercest to those – the Pharisees – with whom he was most theologically aligned;
• The similar anger we find in ourselves toward evangelicalism going after Christian nationalism;
• The importance of rebuking the temptation to read these passages antisemitically;
• Why religious fakers pissed Jesus off so much;
• How truthfulness and no-bullshit vibes became central to Jesus' social vision;
• Why Jesus would be so irate at Christians antagonizing LGBTQ folk in his name;
• and more!
