Getting to Know the Real Jesus

With Alexander Venter

“Getting to Know the Real Jesus” is an introduction to what is now called Jesus Research. Alexander Venter presents it in terms of “A Portrait of the Historical Jesus” – painting a picture of Jesus within his historical context – the period called Second Temple Judaism. Therefore, the course is essentially an introduction to and description of the Jesus of history – especially his mission and message of the eschatological (end-time) Kingdom of God.
