In these 10 lessons we examine these and other subjects: the genre of \"gospel,\" the meaning of the declaration that \"the kingdom of God has come near,\" the miracles of Jesus, his teaching (including episodes on the Sermon on the Mount and his use of parables) and how his audience would have perceived him. We focus particular attention on interpreting Jesus within the world of first-century Palestinian Judaism and the political and cultural dynamics of his day. This allows us a rich understanding of both the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith.
