Torah Studies for Christians
with Rev. George Balasko
Topic of discussion:
Jesus as Rabbi
This Bible education series is an opportunity for Christians to reflect on the Scriptures using video resources from various Scripture scholars. Working closely with the biblical text, we will explore the methods and insights of the sages of the Jewish tradition, their love for Torah, their eye for detail, their incisive questions, debates, and creative storytelling (midrash). In this way we will deepen our appreciation of a Torah tradition that is at the core of Jewish life, which formed Jesus as a Jew, and which is the root of our biblical heritage as Christians. Join us in this fascinating journey of biblical and spiritual enrichment.
Registration is not required.
Future Dates:
October 19 – Jesus’ Take on the Sabbath
November 16 – Jesus’ Take on Marriage
December 21 – Paul as Pharisaic Rabbi
