Episode 4 - Simon the Magician - "Villains of the Early Church: And How They Made Us Better Christians"
In this episode, Mike Aquilina and Kris McGregor discuss Simon the Magician and learning pride and hubris.
An excerpt from Villains of the Early Church:
IF THERE had been supermarket tabloids in Rome of the first century, Simon Magus, or Simon the Magician, would have been on the front pages every week. His story gives us zombies, levitation, a talking dog, a jewel heist, and a prophesying baby, just to name a few of the highlights. But it all begins with a true story in the Acts of the Apostles.
