Season 1, Episode 3 (Spring Season, 2018)

In this episode, Kurt Willems considers the real life of John, the author of the book of Revelation. It is quite plausible that John was a refugee in a literal sense. He was part of a Jewish group of Jesus followers in Jerusalem, who were forced to flee for their lives to Asia Minor when Rome came in and eventually destroyed Jerusalem. What would this backstory mean for John, now 20-something years after the dramatic events? No wonder he as no love for the ways of Empire!
