In this episode Kerry and Lamar are joined by Andrea Woodmansee, who has been studying Jewish wedding traditions from the time of the Savior and how it helps us understand biblical texts. They begin by exploring imagery in John 10, and then follow that line of reasoning to understand the betrothal process and other elements of Jewish weddings that make the Christmas story come to life.
