FALL 2009 Seasons of the Spirit Christian formation classes include a Bible Study series that uses the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum, which the children and youth are also using this year.  Spirituality We plan to offer several sessions related to spirituality. The planned events for this season are centered around stewardship of our gifts. The Historical Jesus The Teaching Company has produced a 24 lecture study of the historical Jesus,  The lecturer is Professor Bart D. Ehrman, the James A. Gray Professor and Chairman of the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his Master of Divinity and Ph.D degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. He has received several awards for excellence n teaching.   The course presents all the sources for our knowledge of Jesus, beginning with the Gospels, of course, but including .other Gospels that did not make it into the New Testament, as well as Roman and Jewish Sources.   Professor Ehrman concludes the lectures with a lecture in which he presents his own perspective on the historical Jesus and contends that we are welcome and qualified to take issue with him because he has given us all the information on which his perspective is based.  The class will be held in the conference room. The hour long sessions will begin with a 30 minute discussion of the previous Sunday's lecture followed by viewing the next 30 minute lecture. There will be no need to take notes during the lecture because the literature that accompanies the DVD's provides an excellent detailed summary of the contents of the lecture. At the first session, the 30 minute discussion will be a sharing of our own perspectives on the historical Jesus prior to the study.  Ed Daub will convene the discussions and provide the DVD's of the lectures.
