08 - Jesus Christ

How can Jesus be both God *and* a human being? Did Jesus know that he was God from the moment of his birth?

In this episode, we discuss Jesus Christ, Son of God.

This episode covers Part One, Section Two, Chapter Two, and Articles Two and Three of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

**CORRECTION** A listener has pointed out that in this episode, I state Emmanuel means 'God saves'. In actual fact, Emmanuel means 'God with us', while Jesus means 'God saves'.
