1-2: Jesus in Context - The Messenger to the Messiah
Christen Forster
In this session we explore how Jewish history and thinking and theology lay the social institutions and messianic expectations that mean Jesus could be recognised by those who were open to His message and Messiah-ship.
We look at:
•Alexander – the divine world leader.
•Four Kingdoms (and rumblings in Rome)
•Jewish Significance
•Rome Rises
•Augustus, Herod and Hope.
