	Description:		March is Jesus Month on Let's Talk About It. What about those guys and gals who hung out with the Man of Nazareth? Some were ordinary working people-fishermen, tradesmen, perhaps even house servants or working women. Others were apparently better educated, like Judas and Matthew. What do we know about them, and what insights do the snapshots of the disciples provided by the Gospel authors-who were not themselves first generation apostles-offer for the modern reader? For example, why are the disciples almost always painted as blithering incompetents? And is there any historical, theological or metaphysical validity to Charles Fillmore's identification of the Twelve Powers of Man with the 12 shadowy figures from the ancient past? LTAI's panel of scholars and students of the Bible will ask these and other questions as they consider "Jesus and His Disciples" on this week's program.
