Gus is joined by Dr. Matthew J. Thomas, an associate professor of Biblical studies and theology at the Dominican School of Philosophy & Theology in Berkeley, California, to talk about the Books of Maccabees. He and Gus discuss some of the great, heroic stories that the book contains, as well as many of the heroes and the persecution of Jews that were occurring at the time during the Seleucid Empire. He and Gus also talk about why Protestant Bibles don’t contain the Books of Maccabees. Afterwards, Gus invites listeners to call in and talk about their favorite Old Testament character.
Later, we hear from Bob Dunning, who calls in to chat with Gus about the College Football Playoff rankings and which teams look like playoff contenders. They go over this weekend's biggest games, and since Gus will be off all of next week, they go over the best Rivalry Week games.
