Segment 19: Mounting Controversy
Presenter: Leander E. Keck
After the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, the leaders of the Pharisees
began to consolidate Judaism in the synagogues. Jewish Christians
emphasized Jesus’ own tensions with the Pharisees in order to find
their identity apart from the synagogues. The church’s tension with
the synagogue was stronger than the tension between the Pharisees and
Jesus had been. Two factors separated Jesus and the Pharisees:
Jesus was concerned about whether an act was right or just, not whether
a law had been violated, which meant going behind the law to
God’s will. And Jesus acted as if he knew what God’s will was.

Feb 14 class
As I mentioned before, Lisa and I have plans on Feb 14, so we need to move the class that week. How about moving it back a day to Sunday, Feb 13, and doing it in the early afternoon maybe 1 to 2:30 pm?

Segment 18: Radical Discipleship
Presenter: Leander E. Keck
According to Matthew, Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament
hope. In Matthew the central theme of Jesus’ teaching is
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus and
Matthew use repentance to mean turning around, turning life
Godward. John the Baptist called people to repent in order to be
ready for the Kingdom. Jesus called people to repent in response
to the Kingdom. Jesus used parables to tell a story that could open
up some aspect of God’s kingdom.

February 14 class?
Hi,
It's a little ways off still, but Lisa and I will not be able to attend the February 14, 2011 class. It's Valentine's Day, and we have tickets to see Boz Scaggs at the Bass. So, we can either take this week off, or we can move the class to another night. Think about it (that is, assuming anyone actually reads this blog :-).

Video Segment 17 Summary (January 17, 2011 class)
Segment 17: The Time of Transition
Presenter: Robert Mulholland, Jr.
During the time between the end of the Old Testament and the
beginning of the New Testament, synagogue and Torah instruction
became the center of Jewish life. Hellenistic culture influenced the
ruling aristocracy of the Jews, resulting in the Maccabean revolt.
Three groups emerged during the Hasmonean independence: Essenes,
Pharisees, Sadducees. By the end of Hasmonean rule, the Torah, the
Prophets, and the Writings had become authoritative for the Jews.
Messianic expectations among Jews ran high during the period of
Roman rule. Subordination to foreign powers prepared the way for
rabbinic Judaism and Christianity.

Video Segment 16 Summary (January 10, 2010 class)
Segment 16: People Hope for a Savior
Presenter: Jorge A. González
The author of Daniel sets the story in the period of the Babylonian
exile to draw parallels between the story of Daniel and the time in
which the book is being written. Apocalypticism, characterized by
symbolic language and the division of history into present and future
ages, provides the theme and the literary form for the Book of
Daniel. The book is structured into six dreams and four visions. It
includes the theological ideas of resurrection of the body and hope
for a Messiah and the expectation that the present age will soon end.
