Episode description and notes

Ryan Wiksell NEW BOOK! The Last Seder of James: A Journey Through Passover Dr. Lon Wiksell founded Our Father Abraham in 2016 to promote awareness of the Jewishness of Jesus and Christianity, as well as to educate churchgoers about Jewish festivals like Passover. This just so happens to be the topic of their first published work, a fiction/nonfiction hybrid entitled The Last Seder of James: A Journey Through Passover, published by Morgan James out of New York, and hitting bookstores everywhere August 5, 2025. The Last Seder of James combines historical fiction and expert biblical teaching to shine a light on the centrality of Passover to the Christian faith. In the Story, John the Apostle visits James the brother of Jesus in prison, the night before his execution. Together, they celebrate Passover with a Seder, or ceremonial Passover meal. The Teaching that follows provides commentary on the Story, and goes on to explore the densely symbolic 15 steps of the Passover Seder. Ultimately, Passover reveals God’s eternal covenant promises, and their fulfillment in Jesus from the Nativity, to the Last Supper, to the Cross.
