Jesus in the First
& Twenty-first Centuries
LECTURE
Roy W. Hoover
Excavating Jesus
The gospels portray Jesus through the eyes of early Christian faith as the Messiah and divine savior; but they also preserve information about Jesus before he became the object of Christian belief. What is the evidence about Jesus as a figure of history and how do we find it?
Friday, 7:30-9 P.M.
WORKSHOPS
Roy W. Hoover
The Jesus of the First Century
What do we now know about the historical Jesus? In this session we will consider how one may use the evidence of Jesus' authentic sayings to construct a profile of him as a figure of history.
Saturday, 9:30-10.30 A.M.
Jarmo Tarkki
The Ethics of Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth subverted the everyday world of Galileans. Upending basic values, he called the poor blessed, and advocated loving enemies and forsaking father and mother. Are Jesus' ethical ideas irrelevant in the twenty-first century or do they still have the power to subvert and transform lives?
Saturday, 11:00 A.M.- Noon
Roy W. Hoover & Jarmo Tarkki
The Jesus of the Twenty-first Century
What does the rediscovery of the historical Jesus mean for the heirs of the Christian tradition? Does this Jesus have any relevance for people who claim no allegiance to Christianity? The presenters offer their insights and engage participants in a discussion about the relation of the historical Jesus to those questions.
Saturday, 1:30-4 P.M.
