Episode 3593: Can religious topics be entertaining? Barry Leonardini thinks so — and his bold, satirical novel Jesus and Peter: a Different View of Christ and His Catholic Church proves it.

Can religious topics be entertaining? Barry Leonardini thinks so — and his bold, satirical novel Jesus and Peter: a Different View of Christ and His Catholic Church proves it.

In this fascinating conversation, Leonardini challenges traditional Christian narratives by reimagining Jesus and the apostle Peter through a lens of humanity, ambition, politics, and power. Was Jesus exactly as depicted in the Bible? How much of his story was shaped by Peter? And how did Rome transform a humble message of charity into a global religious institution?

We explore:

• The humanity, vulnerability, and strategy behind Jesus’ message
• Peter’s rise to Rome and the political shaping of Christianity
• How religion, power, and storytelling intertwine
• Why Jerusalem produced both Jesus and Muhammad
• How faith evolved from personal charity to organized empire

Barry Leonardini, a former floor trader on the Pacific Stock Exchange and longtime radio guest, brings sharp wit, historical imagination, and fearless commentary to one of history’s most powerful stories.

Whether you’re religious, skeptical, curious, or just love bold conversations, this episode will challenge what you think you know — and keep you entertained.
