Jesus & Paul And Rome & America 3 DVD Set $60.00

Series of lectures by John Dominic Crossan: “The Radicality of God & The Ambiguity of Biblical Tradition,” “Jesus, Paul & The Kingdom of God,” and “The Resurrection of Jesus for Contemporary America.”

Dr. Crossan’s lectures are based on his recent book, IN SEARCH OF PAUL, co-authored with field archeologist, Dr. Jonathon Reed. Crossan explores the biblical text, first and second century non-Christian documents and cutting edge archeological research to show that the Mediterranean world of the first century was dominated and shaped by Roman Imperial Religious and Economic agenda. It was against this background that early Christians offered their alternative program for community and society. Indeed, he says, early Christians understood that it was not Caesar who was the Son of God and Savior of the world as the Empire taught, but in fact, it was Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish peasant from Galilee in Judea. Crossan’s lectures provide a new, vibrant picture of the world into which Jesus and the emerging church were born.
