Luke’s Portrayal Of Jesus | Thinking Christianly

Take a deep dive into the Gospel of Luke, who we read throughout this liturgical year in our Sunday masses. How does Luke tell the story of Jesus? How is his story distinct, and how similar to the other writers who tell the story of Jesus? Like all tours, we will see the whole map, but pay particular attention to key places of interest. We will combine the study of the text with time to allow ourselves to meet the Jesus who speaks in a unique way through this telling of the Gospel. Luke Timothy Johnson is Robert W. Woodruff Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Christian Origins at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Emory’s most distinguished endowed chair. A noted scholar and an award-winning teacher. He previously taught at Yale Divinity School, where he also received a PhD, and Indiana University. Among his many areas of research is the study of Luke-Acts. The author of some 30 books, he received the Catholic Press Association’s 2012 Catholic Book Award in Scripture for his book Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church (2011), and also wrote The Gospel of Luke commentary in the Sacra Pagina series (1991). He is also the author of numerous scholarly and popular articles. He made national headlines with The Real Jesus: The Misguided Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Truth of the Traditional Gospels (1996), the first book to systematically challenge the Jesus Seminar’s controversial claims, among them that Jesus said only 18 percent of what the Gospels attribute to him. #StJohnsLA #BibleSchool #Theology Learn more about St. John's Cathedral, by going to our website www.stjohnsla.org Stay Connected Facebook:   / stjohnsla   Instagram:   / stjohnsla   Twitter:   / stjohnsla   SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/3tK7Hga
