What is a gospel? Who is God? What is the kingdom of God? What do the Gospels tell us about who Jesus is and how He wants us to live? In this course, you will investigate answers to these questions and more, as you explore the Gospels in the context of Israel’s story and Jesus’ Jewish world.

Generally, a good introductory course which at times challenges your previous views of the Gospels. Initially the first two lessons appear to be pegged at basic instead of intermediate level, but as I progress, the content goes deeper. At times, I am challenged to interpret things in a new way. I'm only a bit disappointed that only six people have signed up for this course, and out of them, I am the only one who posts answers to the discussion questions! It's been quite a lonely course without the interaction of lecturer or peer students.
