Episode description

Most people know comedian Julia Sweeney from her time as a member of the Saturday Night Live cast, but she is also a student of historical criticism of the Bible. She has an extremely “Hollywood” take on the literary production of the Gospels. John, Liz and Ben react to her amazing “successive draft” theory, where she see’s the Gospels as progressing book to book like a series of film script revisions, complete with added “pizazz” and exaggerations.

Then John, Liz and Ben dive into a new edition of Bible vs. Bible where Jesus dying words are different depending on which gospel you read. Is it a contradiction?
