About this episode
Dan returns to History in the Bible , hosted by Garry Stephens. This time they discuss best-selling Israeli author Yochi Brandes' novel “The Orchard” . Dan translated the book into English. The novel centres on Rabbi Akiva, the man who forged rabbinic Judaism after the fall of the Temple. Along the way they encounter a host of other rabbis and Paul of Tarsus. They also ponder the difficulties of translation and working out what actually happened in history.
