Wednesdays, 6:30- 8:15 PM
Come for a light meal and dialogue on a progressive, alternative understanding of spirituality in today's world.
This semester we will explore "The Historical Jesus."
Understanding the historical Jesus is the topic of this semester’s Faith Forum: a Liberating Take on Christianity. We will be exploring what it meant to be a Jew within the Roman Empire. John Dominic Crossan, a leading scholar on the historical Jesus, will lead us in exploring the challenge of “matrix” ie. “everything you must know to understand Jesus in his own time and place before it is possible to understand him in ours.”
Crossan will be joined by Marcus Borg. Together they will engage us in understanding this matrix through short video presentations. This will be after sharing our diversity of perspectives while gathered around the table for a light meal/dessert. I am excited about joining with others in these conversations!
Please bring a small contribution for dinner: $3 students, $5 others.
The first Faith Forum will be on January 20 and run through April 14th. (No Faith Forum will be March 17th, Spring Break.)
