March is Jesus Month on Let's Talk About It. The topic for LTAI's this week is "Miracle Stories Featuring Jesus of Nazareth." Dr. Thomas Shepherd's distinguished panel of biblical scholars and students of scripture will look at the nature of supernaturalism in the Hebraic and Hellenistic worldview, asking whether some "miracle" stories can be explained in naturalistic terms. They will also consider the ethical implications of divinely appointed miracle-working. Why heal one person or raise that man's child from the grave, when so many others go without heavenly assistance? The Christological questions will be even more profound. Did the earliest disciples of Jesus actually believe he was God in their midst? What was the first-century church saying about the development of the "Christ of faith?" Did Jesus really have the power to work wonders? Don't miss this one! |
