The Case for Jesus
April 17 – June 5
Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Room 233
For the past hundred years, critics have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels or whether Jesus thought he was God or even if he ever claimed to be divine. Dr. Brant Pitre takes us back to the biblical, historical, and neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and early church fathers that pull the rug out from under this skepticism. Encounter the Gospels and Jesus and the divine claims in their ancient Jewish context. Video/discussion facilitated by Alix Shattuck. No book; no cost.
Explore topics that are at the very heart of Christianity:
• Were the four Gospels anonymous?
• Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable?
• Did Jesus claim to be God?
• Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah?
• Why was Jesus crucified?
• What is the evidence for the Resurrection?
