Although sharing with the other New Testament gospels the same basic outline of the story of Jesus, the Fourth Gospel pushes the account of his life all the way back before creation and divides the narrative of Jesus’ life into the Book of Signs and the Book of Glory. The “I am” sayings provide unique insights into who Jesus is for us, and the importance of believing reminds us how the Holy Spirit works in us.
This course will be led by Professor Wally Taylor and will be held February 5-6, 2021 via Zoom.

In his letters and in his personal witness the Apostle Paul gave the early church—and us—the theological grounding that is still the foundation of what we believe and teach about Jesus. His language about the cross, justification, baptism, and resurrection was at the heart of his ministry, of the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and is at the center of the Lutheran Church today.
