Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E1
Our biblical consultants from three different traditions - Jewish, Catholic and Evangelical - come together again to address a wide range of questions raised by this episode. Was the Sermon on the Mount just a single sermon or more of a big hit? And what's so revolutionary about it anyway? Would Matthew's family really have rejected him because he's a tax collector? And could the same thing happen to Thomas and Rama because they took the first steps towards marriage without a formal arrangement from her father? All of this and more in this episode.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E2
Our Bible consultants dig into what seems like an odd scriptural passage, but turns out to be a real treasure once it's tapped into. Enjoy their commentary on Jesus sending the disciples 2x2, then stick around to hear what they think about one of our most impactful yet controversial scenes - Little James not being healed.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E3
What made Jesus' childhood friends and neighbors go from loving him one minute to trying to kill him the next? Our Bible consultants delve into the controversy and help explain the historical and religious reasons why Jesus' hometown would turn against him. But the controversy doesn't stop there. We delve into other hotly debated topics, like did Jesus have biological siblings and is he really "the law of Moses"?
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E4
Our Bible consultants provide color commentary on our first black-and-white scene - the disciples preaching and performing miracles 2x2. Plus, they discuss messy relationships, contaminated tanks, and ritual impurity in Season 3, Episode 4.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E5
What do Eden's loss and Veronica's condition have in common? Moreover, how is her condition connected to the death of Jairus' daughter? And why does Jesus heal one of them openly, then resurrect the other in secret? Our Bible consultants uncover connections - and differences - between these stories that may surprise you.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S3 E6
A twenty-year-old Pilate, disciples with swords, and a doubting John the Baptist? This episode was full of surprises, and our Bible consultants will help you navigate the twists and turns.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E1
A rabbi, a priest, and an evangelical visit a Bible museum. No joke, our scriptural consultants are back for another season of Bible Roundtable discussions—this time, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. From birth to marriage to death, this initial conversation covers all the major events of life, focusing on the first and last days of John the Baptist. Along the way, the guys also dig into a few seemingly minor plot points, like olive oil and laundry, that are actually loaded with meaning.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E2
One of the main reasons we have Bible Roundtable discussions is to delve into the differing interpretations and perspectives among faith traditions. There are few chosen episodes that highlight these differences more than Season 4, Episode 2, specifically Jesus’ speech at the Gates of Hell. What — or who — is the “rock” upon which Jesus will build His church? Is it Peter or his statement of faith? And while he was clearly the leader of the 12 apostles, was he also the first pope? Dallas and our scholars seek solid answers and common ground. Having examined the questions that divide the church, it is also fitting to conclude with a discussion of the need for 70x7 forgiveness and reconciliation among Jesus’ followers.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E3
Like salt in a wound, Jesus not only lets Rama die, but he also refuses Thomas' request to resurrect her. Is it a shocking and tragic turn of events, but does it distort the truth of Scripture and the character of Jesus? Our Bible consultants have a lot to say about the most controversial episode of The Chosen yet. Before we can face the ending, however, there's a problem at the beginning - a blind man is healed, but in the wrong place and time.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E4
We have disciples trying to become leaders and a leader becoming a disciple. This episode really takes our Bible consultants from one extreme to the other. It will help us think about why James and John were jostling for position while Gaius humbly knelt. But before that, there are some early questions that need to be answered - most notably, how many disciples did Jesus actually have? Was it 12? 72? Or even hundreds? Our scholars have the information for you.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E5
Are you a Sadducee or a Pharisee? Are you Team Martha or Team Mary? Do you suspect Judas was a double agent from the beginning or someone who went astray over time? Do you think Jesus is more human or more divine? Dallas and our Bible consultants tackle these trivial little matters (wink, wink) in the Episode 5 Bible Roundtable discussion.
Read MoreBible Roundtable: S4 E6
First the death of Rama, and now a stoning in the Temple—was the chosen one violent? To answer this question, our Bible consultants turn to John chapter 10, the passage that recounts this near-fatal conflict during the Hanukkah festival. Their discussion will help us understand why a sermon escalated into a stoning.

A Catholic, a Jew, and an Evangelical walk into a bar... Maybe not really, but we had The Chosen's three biblical consultants come together to discuss each episode, including this discussion of Episode One of the series. We don't necessarily agree on everything, but it was important to hear from each of these faith traditions as the scripts were being written and again after the episodes were finished.
