	Description:		March is Jesus Month on Let's Talk About It. If a team of visiting scholars from another planet decided to look into the central figure in Christianity, they would quickly discover a baffling array of Jesuses offered by a bewildering marketplace of "Christian" groups. They might conclude there is no central organizing principle which unites the disparate Jesus images after finding the suffering, redeeming Jesus of Roman Catholicism beside the sin-busting Jesus of American fundamentalism and the mystical Jesus of Quaker spirituality, the status-quo-shaking Jesus of feminist theology, the patriotic-triumphant Jesus of Mormonism and a suburban Protestant Jesus, as well as the provocative Jesus of New Testament scholarship and the prophetic Jesus of black liberation theology. There was only one historic Jesus. But none of our Jesus models have ever coincided, not even during his earthly ministry. In March, Dr. Shepherd will introduce new ideas about Christology from his upcoming book as his distinguished panel searches for ideas about Jesus that make sense to a postmodern world.
