We have all been influenced by Jesus to some degree, and yet that influence hasn’t always been benign. But what if history has gotten Jesus wrong? There has been a long tradition of scholarship investigating who the historical Jesus really was. Does it confirm what Christianity has said about him, or does it suggest that he was a very different figure than we learn about in church? Join Robert and Emily as they dive into historical Jesus scholarship (that is completely independent of A Course in Miracles) and share a new picture of Jesus, the wisdom teacher, versus the icon that has been made of him.
