EarthDiverse: The Historical Jesus
REMINDER: EarthDiverse's newest History course entitled "The Historical Jesus" begins this Wednesday 27 April 7:00-9:00 (NZ time).
One typically understands Jesus as presented by the Christian religious tradition as the founder of Christianity. What then happens when he is approached by an expert in Jewish history rather than Christian history? This course contextualises Jesus within the historical, cultural, religious and political framework of the late Second Temple Period from the standpoint of Jewish history, rather than via a theological framework. This course reexamines Jesus through the cultural, religious, and political environment in which he lived and died, and which shaped his own religiosity and worldview.
This course is offered as both an in-person class at the EarthDiverse Centre in Hamilton, as a live-streamed interactive Zoom session, or by watching the recorded video sessions when they become available the next day to watch at a time more suitable to your schedule.

Police apologise to rest home alleged theft victim after failing to act
Police have apologised to a pensioner who caught a carer-turned-crook allegedly stealing cash, admitting there was more they could have done.
The about-face comes after the Waikato Times revealed the plight of rest home resident Lisa Allen, who set up a hidden-camera, capturing footage that appeared to show the caregiver opening her handbag and taking out a $50 note while the room was unattended.
