“Seeing Jesus Again: Before and After Easter”
* An older way of seeing Jesus no longer persuasive to many
* Why the historical approach to Jesus and Christian origins matters
* The gospels as a mixture of memory and metaphor

* Jesus as the revelation of God's passion

"Seeing the Christian Life Again"
Though modern Christianity has often emphasized “believing” as central to the Christian life, being Christian is not really about “believing,” but about a relationship with God that transforms us. Three lectures highlight the two most central transformations and the practical means of transformation. Each lecture is followed by discussion.
