"By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death." - Hebrews 11:17-19 (NIV)

Notes from the producer on today's episode:

  • The recording of Malchus’s ear being healed is found in Luke 22:51.
  • The quote David refers to in this episode is commonly adjusted and attributed to various individuals, but the most likely person to have coined the metaphor was British Field Marshal Douglas Haig in a letter to his wife where he describes the 17th Earl of Derby, saying, “like the feather pillow, [he] bears the marks of the last person who has sat on him.” (The Private Papers of Douglas Haig: 1914-1919)

  • The book David references in this episode is The Good Shepherd by Kenneth E. Bailey.
  • The two CS Lewis quotes on today's episode are from his book Mere Christianity.
    • "Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive."
    • "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic–on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg–or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse..."
