EXTRA 63. The Spanish Armada
Historical Jesus
03/15/25 • 26 min
The Anglo-Spanish War was an intermittent conflict (1585–1604) between the Kingdoms of Spain and England. The war included much English privateering against Spanish treasure ships in the New World, and several major sea battles including the Spanish Armada. On May 28th, 1588, a fleet of a hundred and fifty-one Spanish ships set out from Lisbon, bound for England. Its mission was to transport a huge invasion force across the Channel. The Spanish King, Philip II, was determined to remove Queen Elizabeth from the throne and return the English to the Catholic fold. Two months later the mighty Spanish Armada was sighted off the coast of Cornwall. This tale of religious dispute, shifting political alliance and naval supremacy influenced the subsequent exploration, commercialization, settlement and colonization of America. Enjoy this HISTORICAL JESUS Extra — The STORY of AMERICA.

E64. Epiphany
Historical Jesus
12/31/24 • 11 min
Three Kings' Day is a Christian feast day that annually falls on January 6th (also known as Epiphany). It is a special date for many Christians as it's when the faithful celebrate how a bright star in the sky led the Magi - also known as the Three Wise Men - to visit the baby Jesus after he had been born. But, how do we separate myth from fact in ancient history? How do we do this when it comes down to one of the most beloved and well-known stories of all time—The Nativity?

EXTRA 65. El Dorado
Historical Jesus
03/29/25 • 18 min
The legend of the Seven Cities of Gold (aka Fabled Cities of Cibola) became mixed with the stories of El Dorado, which was sometimes said to be one of the seven cities. El Dorado is applied to a legendary New World story in which precious stones were found in fabulous abundance along with gold coins. Sir Walter Raleigh of Roanoke fame would later take up the search for the mythical kingdom. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition from Mexico through the southwestern USA in search of the fabled Cities of Cibola in the sixteenth century. He had hoped to reach the continent’s El Dorado located throughout the pueblos of the New Mexico Territory. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado (1510-54) was a Spanish conquistador who led a North American expedition to reach the continent’s El Dorado from Mexico through the southwestern USA in search of the mythical kingdom.

EXTRA 52. Henry VIII
Historical Jesus
12/30/24 • 23 min
His reign is often seen as a prelude to and the forerunner of the British Empire and English activities on the North American continent. Certainly, without the institutional changes he brought, the wars he fought, and the religious differences he ushered into his country, England, and therefore Britain likely would have never risen to the status she ultimately achieved. His life was rocked by repeated scandal, religious schism and lustful ambition making King Henry VIII one of the most fascinating and mixed characters to influence North America’s history. King Henry VIII is probably the most well-known and most studied of English monarchs. Enjoy this HISTORICAL JESUS Extra — The STORY of AMERICA.

EXTRA 67. Shakespeare in America
Historical Jesus
04/12/25 • 22 min
We continue our Deep Dive into England’s Tudor period and its influence on America by examining the immeasurable contribution made by an Englishman on one of the continent’s main languages and culture. Although this gentleman never visited the continent per se, his words flowed across the ocean onto the immense territory to greatly impact its means of communication. Let’s explore the life, deeds and works of this Tudor era Titan of History... William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Let’s appreciate the immeasurable contribution made by an Englishman on one of North America’s main languages and culture. English actor, playwright, poet, and London theatre owner from the early 1590s to 1613, William Shakespeare (1564-1616), known as "the Bard of Avon", authored at least 37 plays and collaborated on several more. He also wrote 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses.

EXTRA 69. Aztec
Historical Jesus
05/10/25 • 17 min
Prior to exploring Early Colonial Mexico, let’s re-visit one of the most glorious Mesoamerican societies—the Aztec Empire in the context of presentism. The meaning of presentism is an attitude toward the past dominated by present-day attitudes and experiences. Some define it as the historical sin of applying present-day virtues upon the past.

Historical Jesus
04/08/25 • 10 min
On the Sunday before Easter is the Christian moveable feast of Palm Sunday that commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Its name originates from the palm branches waved by the crowd to greet and honor Jesus of Nazareth as he entered the city. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week and the beginning of the last week of the solemn season of Lent, preceding Eastertide in Western Christianity.
