<description>&lt;p&gt;On this episode, Shane highlights some of the intriguing parallels that exist between the parable of Lazarus recorded in Luke 16 and the account of the raising of Lazarus in John 11. Since both texts involve a man named Lazarus as well as the subject of resurrection, it’s worth considering that these two stories may in fact be related. During this exploration, Shane talks with Richard Bauckham, author of &lt;em&gt;Jesus &amp; The Eyewitnesses&lt;/em&gt;, and T.C. Schmidt, author of &lt;em&gt;Josephus &amp; Jesus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SPECIAL OFFER&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a gift of any size, you’ll receive a pre-release PDF download of Shane’s forthcoming book, &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.humbleskeptic.com/p/joanna-an-obscure-disciple-or-lukes"&gt;Luke’s Key Witness&lt;/a&gt;, along with a 30-page PDF resource titled &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.humbleskeptic.com/p/the-identity-of-the-beloved-disciple"&gt;The Identity of the Beloved Disciple&lt;/a&gt;.
