Opening the Treasures of the Messiah, Episode 13: In spite of flesh-eating worms...

Through the mouth of a gorgeous soprano soloist, Handel courageously grapples with the huge questions of death, bodily decomposition and resurrection. He takes the fashionable music-loving social elite on a thorough theological examination.

Job 19:25,26, 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
