“Christianity has introduced us to Christ, but Jesus lived in a world where Christianity didn’t exist.”
Diving headlong into this little-pondered fact, Lizzie Berne DeGear brings us on an exhilarating journey through the first two chapters of the Gospel of Mark – the earliest story of Jesus that appears in the Bible. Teasing out Jesus’s human experience from the layers of institution and religion that have carried these stories to us over thousands of years, Dr. DeGear allows readers to encounter the ancient world of Galilee and the inner world of Yeshua of Nazareth.
JESUS FOUND IN TRANSLATION:
Connecting Your Community
with Some Genuinely Good News
People’s Catholic Seminary and Chaplain Lizzie Berne DeGear, PhD are launching Lizzie’s new book Jesus Found in Translation: The story within the story of the Bible’s earliest gospel.
In this seven-week course we will make our way through this powerful little book, discovering a very human Jesus and the transformative movement that came alive in Galilee all those centuries ago. Each week we will explore ways of sharing the themes of expanded consciousness, mutual care and spiritual renewal with your religious communities as well as with your “unaffiliated” or nonreligious friends.
We all could use some authentically good news right now – together let’s find it and spread it.
