JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN

In three provocative lectures, John Dominic Crossan, renowned historical Jesus scholar, explores the topic, How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction About Jesus. Listen as he walks you through the evolution of Jesus’s parables as they are told and re-told by the gospel writers.  Dr. Crossan introduces audiences to the particularities of first century Jewish live, belief and thought that made the parables of Jesus so readily accessible and yet so very explosive for his listeners. In his colorful and imaginative style, Dr. Crossan cuts down through the layers of text to reveal a parable-wielding Jesus we’ve not seen before.  This is Crossan at his best.
