Episode Synopsis
In this episode of 'Roots and Relevance,' listeners are introduced to a new series, 'Threads of Redemption,' aimed at exploring the meta-narrative of scripture. The focus of this initial episode is 'The Road to Emmaus,' a story from Luke 24 where Jesus reveals himself to two disillusioned disciples through the breaking of bread and the explanation of scriptures. The hosts discuss the importance of understanding the Bible's bigger picture, the process of deconstruction and reconstruction of faith, and the relevance of community and table fellowship in rediscovering Jesus. The episode concludes with an evocative reading of Pascal's vision, encapsulating the mystical experience of having one's eyes truly opened to the reality of Christ.
