Podcast 25: Sources for Jesus’ Life (Historical Jesus 1)

The Historical Jesus: What the Bible Says about the Life of Christ

In this 16 lecture class I seek to answer the question: “Who is Jesus?” Join me as we journey through Gospels to see what the bible says about Jesus’ life. It is my hope that this class will inspire you to love Jesus, teach you to follow Jesus, help you to understand Jesus, and empower you to navigate the Gospels on your own.  Throughout I will seek to situate Jesus within his own historical context to enable you to see him as clearly as possible.

Historical Jesus 1: Sources for Jesus’ Life

How do we know what we know about the life of Jesus of Nazareth?  Join me as I cover the non-Christian sources that mention Jesus, including Josephus, Pliny, and Tacitus.  Next discover the reasons why the four biblical Gospels are such good and credible sources.
