Are Christians supposed to keep the Day of Atonement and fast on it? Why fasting? Do all have to fast? Does fasting have to do with avoiding all food and drink? Can caffeine withdrawals result in headaches? How do the Jews say to prepare to fast? Are there health and spiritual benefits associated with fasting?

In this sermon, Dr. Thiel goes over each verse of the twelfth and thirteenth chapters of the Apostle Paul’s second epistle (letter) to the Christians in Corinth.
