Peace Podcast: Walking with the Nonviolent Risen Jesus

(This podcast was recorded in February prior to John leaving on his national book tour, which was cancelled shortly after it began due to the corona virus pandemic. John is sheltering at home on the Central Coast of California and sends his blessing to everyone at this difficult time.) It is more than resurrection according to John Dear on his latest podcast Walking with the Nonviolent Risen Jesus. It is Revolution! Listen as John tells us how it all came down as described in Luke 24. Resurrection is not possible without nonviolence. He goes on to wonder why Jesus put up with all the torture and death and then comes back! John says. "If it was me I wouldn't have come back, but this guy not only comes back to his disciples, he makes breakfast for them." We will understand the disciples better and understand ourselves better as we hear John explain the grammatical past pluperfect of "We had hoped."

John Dear discusses the resurrection of Jesus as the ultimate act of nonviolence, of disobedience against the powers that tried to kill him. John breaks down this pivotal moment and the echoes of resurrection in global grassroots people-powered movements throughout time.
