Ep. 101 - The Chronology and Coins of Christ: Passion Week ft. Dr. Brad Bengtson, Tryg Veker, Libby VanSolkema
In this thought-provoking 1-week "Crossroads U" class, we dive deep into the Bible, examining its content through the lens of archaeology and historical context. By exploring the physical and cultural backdrop of the scriptures, we uncover fascinating surprises that offer fresh perspectives, especially on the life of Jesus during the week leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection.
Through archaeological discoveries and historical records, we can trace the locations where Jesus lived, taught, and carried out His ministry—without requiring a leap of faith. These tangible, historical facts help confirm that Jesus was a real historical figure and provide a richer understanding of the world He walked in.
However, while we can confidently assert the reality of His existence and the key events of His life, faith becomes crucial when it comes to understanding the deeper significance of those events. It is through faith that we come to believe in the divine nature of Jesus and embrace His teachings and sacrifice. This elective doesn’t just highlight the historical Jesus; it challenges us to reflect on who He claimed to be and what His life and resurrection mean for us today.
Join us as we uncover the historical and archaeological context behind Jesus' final days and explore the intersection of faith, history, and the profound impact of His life. Whether you’re a believer or simply curious about the historical Jesus, this class offers compelling insights that will deepen your faith and understanding.
