For most of the history of Christianity, the Gospels have been read and studied for their religious message and especially for their theological import. For the last 200 years, greater attention has been paid to researching these Scriptures with the goal of better understanding them in their original context.We will explore several major stories and themes in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) in light of their ancient historical and Jewish context. Students are requested to bring Bibles to each session, or they can use the Bibles available from the church. Instructor: Dr. Richard Margolis, Rabbi.
