Join us for our lenten sermon series based on the book"Beyond the Passion" by Stephen J. Patterson which explores the historical context and events surrounding the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth. The book presents a critical examination of the gospel accounts and other historical sources to shed new light on the nature of Jesus' movement, his message, and his legacy. The author argues that Jesus' death must be understood in its political, social, and religious context in order to fully comprehend its significance. The book provides a nuanced perspective on the origins of Christianity and the role of the early Church in shaping the narrative of Jesus' life and death.
