Ep. 55 | Waco, Apocalyptic Christianity, and Government Overreach: A Conversation with Dr. James Tabor

The boys sit down to interview Dr. James Tabor, an expert on the Waco Tragedy, early Apocalyptic Christianity, and ancient texts. Dr. Tabor was involved in the Waco siege and communicated with the Branch Davidians and their leader, David Koresh, via tapes brought in by Koresh's lawyer during the 51 day standoff. Dr. Tabor discusses the prejudicial nature of the term "cult", breaks down the Branch Davidians apocalyptic belief structure in context of both wider Christianity and 7th Day Adventism, and discusses how different tactics by the FBI could have helped avoid such an immense tragedy. That and much more on this episode of Coast to Coast PM.
