<p>In a chapter he wrote for the <em>Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith</em>, Jim Sibley argued that Luke’s Theophilus was likely a Jewish high priest. In fact, he says this Theophilus may have been deposed from office in 41 AD because of his favorability toward the growing Christian movement. He also believes that Luke’s Joanna was likely the granddaughter of this same Theophilus. Dr. Sibley joins Shane to discuss these issues and more.</p><p><em>During this episode, Shane referenced an upcoming livestream presentation related to the prologue of Luke’s Gospel.
