In today’s episode we’ll speak about how the life of Christ was crowned by his Passion and Death on the Cross. This was a real, historical event, which can be proven not only by the witness of many early Christian writers, but by other non-Christian historians (like Flavius Josephus [Jewish historian born 37 A.D.] and Tacitus [Roman historian and politician born c. 56 A.D.]) as well. We’ll consider a step in the conversion of St Teresa of Avila.
