Listener Donald Griffith wanted to know if there was a connection between the Circus Maximus and the New Testament book of James. The Circus Maximus was the oldest and largest stadium in the city of Rome, and even today its 600 meter length dominates the area. But does this site intersect at all with the New Testament? There may not exactly be a connection, but there is an interesting contrast between the way that the two represent generosity and concern for the poor.
