Devotion to Jesus: The Divinity of Christ in Early Christianity -- June 13 to August 5, 2011 -- $49

When, where, and why did people first believe in the divinity of Jesus?

A renowned professor at Edinburgh College, Dr. Larry Hurtado is an expert in Christian origins. In this course, he refutes revisionist accounts that belief in the divinity of Jesus grew incrementally over time. Dr. Hurtado contends that worship of Jesus was a very early, widespread and radical practice for 1st century believers. The plausible explanation for this otherwise-amazing development is that the church's practice of Jesus devotion reflected Jesus' own belief that he had a unique relationship with God and was God’s decisive agent in human history.

Lessons include:
1. Introduction to Jesus Devotion
2. Roman and Jewish Backgrounds
3. Jesus in the Letters of Paul
4. Jesus in Jewish Christianity
5. Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels
6. Jesus in the Gospel of John
