Episode notes
Pascha: The Christian Passover
- Pascha is the Christian Passover, making Sabbath Seder celebrations redundant for Christians.
- Modern evangelical Seder meals often borrow from Christianity, not vice versa, showing a severance from Christian tradition.
Temple as Body and Idol
- Solomon's temple is portrayed as a body, acting like an idol, but God transcends and is not contained by it.
- God is present among people, not confined to a building or automatic ritual response.
Church Fathers on Dancing
- Church Fathers criticize dancing that leads to moral problems, not all dancing itself.
- Community dance, like Greek or contra dancing, can be wholesome and fellowship-building.
