This course is about Jesus of Nazareth. It is wonderfully taught by one of the world’s leading Catholic New Testament experts. We give it our highest possible recommendation.
Surely no one has made a greater impact on human history than Jesus of Nazareth. His life, example and teachings have had a profound influence on every generation since the eventful impact of his death and resurrection. The quest for Jesus is unending, on the part of people of faith and as a historical exercise on the part of many modern scholars.
Many images of Jesus have been popular over the centuries: the Crucified Jesus, the Jesus of the Last Judgment, the infant Jesus found in the Christmas crib, the majestic Jesus the Pantocrator found in the great Byzantine basilicas, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus—just to name a few.
While the images of Jesus that have been revered in Christian piety are to be respected, the authentic source for our understanding of Jesus remains the New Testament and, in particular, the four Gospels. Through these 12 special talks, you will explore the Jesus of the Scriptures. Understand the nature of the gospels and their historical reliability, and the key and distinctive dimensions of Jesus and his mission portrayed by the evangelists.
Encounter the life-giving Jesus, the one alive in the church and in the world today—the Jesus of Scripture.
