The Bible is largely silent about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30. Various sources offer conflicting claims, insisting Jesus trained under an Essene teacher, traveled to India, was mentored by Hindu healers, lived in a Tibetan monastery, studied Buddhism, or joined a “Secret Brotherhood” in Heliopolis, Egypt. After hearing the evidence, you'll be able to determine if there is any validity to these stories or if He simply remained in Nazareth until announcing His ministry in the synagogue.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgThe Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcast Discover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

"My dearest Cassandra,The letter which I have this moment received from you has diverted me beyond moderation. I could die of laughter at it, as they used to say at school."—Jane Austen, September 1, 1796It's been speculated that Jane Austen may have written nearly 3,000 letters in her lifetime. While only 161 are known to have survived, that small collection offers a wealth of information about her daily life, her friends and family, her writing, and her voice. In this episode, historical sociolinguist Ingrid Tieken-Boon van Ostade shares insights gained from her study of the language in Austen's letters—from her vocabulary and spelling to her many instances of linguistic playfulness and clues about her dialect and accent.Ingrid Tieken-Boon van Ostade is professor emeritus of English Sociohistorical Linguistics at Leiden University's Centre for Linguistics in the Netherlands. A member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and a knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion, she has published widely in her field. Her works include In Search of Jane Austen: The Language of the Letters (2014), an in-depth linguistic analysis of Austen's correspondence.For an edited transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep32.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

When it comes to the condition of Jews in Christian Europe, France was long known as the haven and heartland of integration and of toleration. And yet when things seemed to be going well for Jews in Western Europe and North America generally and France especially, the infamous fin de siècle Dreyfus affair brought to the surface some of the worst kinds of bigotry and animus--like contemporaneous Russian pogroms a premonition of the deadly looming revival of ethnic or religious divisions that had seemed a thing of the past. Our guest today, historian Maurice Samuels, author of many fine books on French history (Inventing the Israelite: Jewish Fiction in Nineteenth-Century France (2010), and The Right to Difference: French Universalism and the Jews (2016))and director of the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism has written a crackerjack new book. Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair, (Yale 2024) has written a wonderful account of Dreyfus himself and how should we understand what that turmoil has ot tell us how Jews then (and perhaps today) coexisted with a mainstream secular Christian society either by way of assimilation or (not quite the same thing) by peaceful integration that preserved cultural distinctions. The discussion ranges widely, setting the scene in the prior centuries when Jews settled all over France, and then were accorded unusual rights by the universalist vision of the French Revolution. Maurie also explains why succeeding generations in France included the ascension not only of Leon Blum the Jewish socialist (and inventor of the weekend!) who improbably led anti-fascist France during in the 1930's--but also the other Jews who followed him as political leaders in France, right up to the present-day. From Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) forward, Maurie shows, intellectuals have missed the significance of the way Dreyfus and his family integrated without assimilating. The conversation culminating in Maurie introducing John to the fascinating "Franco-French War" about what that coexistence should look like: assimilation which presumes the disappearance of a distinctive Jewish cultural identity, or integration which posits the peaceful coexistence of French citizens of various religions and cultures. Mentioned in the episode Karl Marx, "On the Jewish Question" (1844) George Eliot's (perhaps philosemitic) Daniel Deronda (1876) Why does Yale have a Hebrew motto, אורים ותומים (light and perfection)? The Haitian Revolution in its triumphs and tribulations is an analogy that helps explain jewish Emancipation--and also in some ways a tragic counterexample. The horrifying Great Replacement Theory we have heard so much about in America (eg in Charlottesville in 2017) began in France; Maurie has some thoughts about that.

164 Maurice Samuels: Jewish Assimilation, Integration and the Dreyfus Affair (JP)

When it comes to the condition of Jews in Christian Europe, France was long known as the haven and heartland of integration and of toleration. And yet when things seemed to be going well for Jews in Western Europe and North America generally and France especially, the infamous fin de siècle Dreyfus affair brought to the surface some of the worst kinds of bigotry and animus--like contemporaneous Russian pogroms a premonition of the deadly looming revival of ethnic or religious divisions that had seemed a thing of the past. Our guest today, historian Maurice Samuels, author of many fine books on French history (Inventing the Israelite: Jewish Fiction in Nineteenth-Century France (2010), and The Right to Difference: French Universalism and the Jews (2016))and director of the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism has written a crackerjack new book. Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair, (Yale 2024) has written a wonderful account of Dreyfus himself and how should we understand what that turmoil has ot tell us how Jews then (and perhaps today) coexisted with a mainstream secular Christian society either by way of assimilation or (not quite the same thing) by peaceful integration that preserved cultural distinctions. The discussion ranges widely, setting the scene in the prior centuries when Jews settled all over France, and then were accorded unusual rights by the universalist vision of the French Revolution. Maurie also explains why succeeding generations in France included the ascension not only of Leon Blum the Jewish socialist (and inventor of the weekend!) who improbably led anti-fascist France during in the 1930's--but also the other Jews who followed him as political leaders in France, right up to the present-day. From Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) forward, Maurie shows, intellectuals have missed the significance of the way Dreyfus and his family integrated without assimilating. The conversation culminating in Maurie introducing John to the fascinating "Franco-French War" about what that coexistence should look like: assimilation which presumes the disappearance of a distinctive Jewish cultural identity, or integration which posits the peaceful coexistence of French citizens of various religions and cultures. Mentioned in the episode Karl Marx, "On the Jewish Question" (1844) George Eliot's (perhaps philosemitic) Daniel Deronda (1876) Why does Yale have a Hebrew motto, אורים ותומים (light and perfection)?

Chris Coyne — 2023 Markets and Society Conference Keynote

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Chris Coyne delivers a keynote lecture at the 2023 Markets & Society conference on the foundations of peace. He contrasts “top-down” peacemaking driven by elites with “bottom-up” peacemaking that emerges from the everyday practices of ordinary people.Coyne argues that much of the social-scientific and policy conversation treats peace as a public good best supplied through state-intervention. He develops an alternative framework—pax hominem—that treats peace as an emergent, learned, and constantly renewed process. Drawing on mainline political economy and the work of Kenneth Boulding, Coyne shows how peaceful cooperation depends on local knowledge, social norms, and institutions that help people navigate conflict without violence across families, communities, and markets. Together, these insights point toward a research and policy agenda focused less on imposing order and more on creating space for self-governance and the bottom-up cultivation of peace.Dr. Christopher J. Coyne is Associate Director of the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center and Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He has published numerous books, including How to Run Wars: A Confidential Playbook for the National Security Elite (Independent Institute, 2024), In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Folly of American Empire and the Paths to Peace (Independent Institute, 2022), and Doing Bad by Doing Good: Why Humanitarian Action Fails (Stanford University Press, 2013).**This episode was recorded October 20, 2024.Show Notes:Kenneth Boulding's book, Stable Peace (University of Texas Press, 1978)Elise Boulding's book, Cultures of Peace(Syracuse University Press, 2000)James C.

This is the fourth and final episode in which Albert Evans and I go in search of the 1934 smash-hit musical The Great Waltz, one of the longest-running shows of the 1930s. The goal of this occasional series of podcasts, In Search of Lost Broadway, is to try to rediscover big hit Broadway musicals from the past, which today are almost entirely unknown to us and forgotten. This week, we explore several high-profile reincarnations of The Great Waltz in the 1960s and 70s, all of which stem from a heavily revised version, with new lyrics by the team Robert Wright and George Forrest, that was first produced by impresario Irwin Lester at his Los Angeles Civic Light Opera company in 1949 and then was revived and revised in 1953 and 1965. The highly acclaimed 1965 version was announced several times for Broadway but never materialized there. It did, however, open in London in 1970, where it became a major hit, running more than 600 performances. Then, in 1972, in the wake of the massive success of The Sound of Music film, The Great Waltz became a major motion picture starring Horst Buchholz and Mary Costa, again with new lyrics by Wright & Forrest. Finally, we discuss the Walt Disney TV-movie version of the Johann Strauss story, titled The Waltz King, which aired on The Wonderful World of Disney in 1963.

What is the role of an artist during turbulent times? When the world feels loud, chaotic, and overwhelming, creating art—or even choosing joy—can feel self-indulgent or irresponsible. But history shows the opposite. Art is often the first thing oppressive systems try to erase, because it's a powerful form of communication, imagination, and inner freedom.In this episode, I reflect on why joy itself is a quiet but meaningful form of resistance, how awareness doesn't have to mean constant outrage, and why real activism is often unglamorous, collective, and rooted in everyday kindness. Drawing on ideas from Viktor Frankl and personal experience as a filmmaker and creator, this is a reminder that making art—whether professionally or as a hobby—is not wasted time.If creating gives you something, that alone is enough.

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, with iconic illustrations by Jules Feiffer—a timeless children's fantasy that doubles as a philosophical guide to paying attention.First published in 1961, The Phantom Tollbooth follows Milo, a bored boy who drives through a mysterious tollbooth and enters a world where words grow on trees, numbers are mined from the ground, time literally ticks, and curiosity determines whether you move forward or get stuck in the Doldrums. Along the way, Milo meets unforgettable characters like Tock the Watchdog, Humbug, Alec Bings, and the princesses Rhyme and Reason.In this episode, Phil and Marisa explore why this book has endured for over 60 years—selling nearly five million copies—despite early bans and challenges over its “difficult” language and ideas. We break down the novel's playful but pointed critique of modern life: distraction, speed, consumerism, and the quiet danger of not thinking deeply enough.We discuss the power of language and education, the balance between words and numbers, and why wisdom isn't just about learning facts—but learning how, why, and when to use what you know. The conversation also touches on the book's adaptations, including the 1970 animated/live-action film, stage versions, and ongoing interest in a modern remake. At its heart, The Phantom Tollbooth reminds us that life isn't boring—it's only boring when curiosity disappears.We also share what we've been reading outside of Book Club lately.Upcoming Book Club picks-I'll Be Waiting For You (and other stories) – Kim Bo-Young (February 2026)-The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (March 2026)-Marisa pick (April 2026)-How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)-Marisa pick (June 2026)-Days at the Torunka Café – Satoshi Yagisawa (July 2026)

Netflix's Unreal pulls back the curtain on how WWE builds its weekly spectacle—from live storylines to nonstop deadlines and the physical and emotional toll on performers. In this episode, I share my personal reaction as both a longtime wrestling fan and a filmmaker: what it reveals about creative pressure, illusion, sacrifice, and why some industries demand a level of commitment most of us couldn't sustain.This isn't a traditional review—it's a reflection on what it costs to make spectacle at scale, how live performance compares to film and TV, and how to hold space for both appreciation and accountability inside massive entertainment systems.We also touch on the larger WWE controversy, why it's not always as simple as boycotting an entire industry, and how to support performers while still calling for better systems.

Every Oscar season turns into a debate about snubs, surprises, and who got robbed—but that conversation often misses the point. In this episode, I break down my bigger issue with the Oscars: how consensus culture leads to the same films dominating every category, even when craft should be judged independently.I share thoughts on this year's nominations, highlight categories that actually took chances, and talk about films I wish were part of the broader conversation. And I close with a simple reminder: if we really care about movies, the most impactful thing we can do is keep going to the theater—even a few times a year.

In fitness, no one expects you to start at the hardest version of an exercise. A good trainer shows you the base movement first—then offers a modification to make it easier, and another to make it harder.I talk about why that framework is powerful far beyond the gym—and how it can completely change the way you approach goals, creativity, and personal growth. Instead of quitting because something feels overwhelming, you can scale it. Instead of stagnating when something feels too easy, you can level it up.Whether you're working on your health, your art, your career, or a long-term project, this mindset helps you stay in motion without burning out or giving up.Think of your goals the same way you'd think of an exercise: base version → easier modification → harder progression.That's how real momentum is built.

I've always believed that if you want to make better work, you have to study the process, not just the finished product. In this episode, I share some of my favorite documentaries that explore how art actually gets made—the doubts, the breakthroughs, the obsession, the missteps, and the human cost behind the work.Many of these docs are rooted in filmmaking and animation, but that's exactly why I want your recommendations too—so I can expand beyond my own creative lane and keep learning how great work gets made across disciplines.The documentaries I talk about include: • Megadoc: The Making of Megalopolis • Rivers and Tides • Pencils vs Pixels • Netflix's Stranger Things' docs • The Movies That Made Us • The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness • The Matrix Revisited • Hand Drawn • Overnight — a cautionary tale every creator should seeSome of these are inspiring.

Known for challenging conventional narratives and making complex historical subjects accessible, she brings a rare interdisciplinary lens to her work.Heather's undergraduate training in archaeology and information technology led to a Master's in History, followed by a Doctorate in Education from the University of New England and a Doctorate in Comparative Religion. Her doctoral research at UNE examined how history museums communicate with the public in the digital age, exploring how institutions shape cultural memory, identity, and civic engagement through technology. This work bridged museum studies, sociology, and communication theory, offering insights into how societies curate their own narratives, and what those choices reveal about power, heritage, and truth.Her current research explores the intersection of archaeology, mythology, and power: forgotten temples, anomalous artifacts, elite rituals, and the selective preservation of history. She does not confine herself to the academic mainstream, nor does she chase the fringe for spectacle.

On this week's Broadway Nation podcast, Albert Evans and I once again go “In Search of Lost Broadway,” as part of our occasional podcast series in which we try to rediscover significant hit Broadway musicals from the past that today are almost entirely unknown and forgotten. This is the third episode in which we go in search of the 1934 smash hit bio-jukebox-musical, The Great Waltz — one of the longest-running shows of the 1930s. Today, Albert and I discuss and review two adaptations of this musical that were produced one a year apart in the mid-1950s: a radio version starring Gordon MacRae on his The Railroad Hour show,  and a live television extravaganza starring Patrice Munsel, Keith Andes, and Burt Lahr. If you miss the earlier episodes in this series, you may want to go back and catch up with them before listening to this one. Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!
