“A tour of the story behind the explosive story of the New Testament. You will discover things you never knew about Jesus’ baptism and journey into the wilderness, the meaning behind his parables and miracles, the significance of his death and resurrection, the incredible expansion of the early church into the Greco-Roman world, and how the transforming mission of Jesus can still turn the world upside down today. Through reading the New Testament we continually discover that God indeed keeps his promises, but those promises don’t always look like what people expected. Especially when it comes to Jesus. So, come join… the journey [that will] help you understand the New Testament you never knew.”
Taught by Rev. Kenneth Blyth, using video presentations and workbook by N.T. Wright, Bishop Emeritus of Durham, England, and until recently Chair of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. N. T. Wright is a prolific and award-winning author.
When: Thursdays, for eight weeks, May 4-June 22, from 2:00pm-3:30pm. Participants will benefit from attending all eight classes, but each is a separate topic which will be undertaken individually.
Preparation: Purchase and read Wright’s study guide, ISBN 978-0310085263, available from Amazon.
