This episode explores many dimensions of the experience of ancient lepers. It also explores the ways that we think of "lepers" similarly to how we think of "leopards" or other zoo animals (as something exotic, endangered, or extinct) rather than thinking of them as the kind of person we will probably see every day of the week. In what way does this way of seeing the Gospels and the world cause the teaching of Jesus not to gain the traction it is meant to have in our lives?
