EarthDiverse: The Historical Jesus

todd from EarthDiverse

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
