Summary

Thrilled to announce our upcoming Advent class with John Dominic Crossan. If you want to dig into the Biblical Christmas narratives with one of the most respected New Testament scholars alive, then signup. It will feature 4 visual lectures, live QnA, a discussion of his book â€˜the First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus’s Birth,â€™ & an online community of interested learners. PLUS, the class is donation based (including 0), so join the fun & get ready to nerd out with your Bibles out. 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 the Herodian commercialization of his Galilean lake as present program 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.
