Zealot's Axe: the conversion of Joerg Jenatsch

Hundreds of years ago a man dressed as a bear murdered a Catholic
freedom fighter in Switzerland. The details of the crime are
somewhat important, but more so are the details of a Protestant
pastor who converted to Catholicism on account of his idea of
authority and power.


The crime stemmed from a time fraught with religious division
during which moderation seemed extinct.


It's a sharp contrast to today, of course, where it's not
uncommon for Christian denominations to pray together, and
discuss the faith from their own perspectives.


In this episode we explore the life and death of Swiss pastor and
fighter Joerg Jenatsch, and think a little about praying together
nowadays.
