The Bible as Literature

What do the narratives of Exodus and Daniel have to do with the Resurrection of Jesus Christ? Why were these stories understood historically as penultimate readings during Easter week? What is the common thread that connects these texts with gospel accounts of Christ's Passion? If you've noticed that all of these stories feature oppressive kings, you're on the right track. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss the meaning of Pascha in light of Daniel 3:13-18. This week's episode is in loving memory of Ralph Sergi.
