Summary

It is almost time for our next online class and John Dominic Crossan is here to lure to join Christmas Stories John Dominic Crossan is an Irish-American biblical scholar with two-year post-doctoral diplomas in exegesis from Romeâ€™s Pontifical Biblical Institute and in archeology from Jerusalemâ€™s Ã‰cole Biblique. He has been a mendicant friar and a catholic priest, a Co-Chair of the Jesus Seminar, and a President of the Society of Biblical Literature. His focus, whether scholarly or popular, whether in books, videos, or lectures, is on the historical Jesus as the norm and criterion for the entire Christian Bible. His reconstructed Jesus incarnates nonviolent resistance to the Romanization of his Jewish homeland and future hope of a transformed world and transfigured earth. Crossanâ€™s method is to situate biblical texts within the reconstructed matrix of their own genre and purpose, their own time and place, and to hear them accurately for then before accepting or rejecting them for now.
