John Dominic Crossan:
Saving the Biblical Christmas Stories
November 21, 2022 By Tripp Fuller
It is almost time for our next online class and John Dominic Crossan
is here to lure to join Christmas Stories
John Dominic Crossan is an Irish-American biblical scholar with two-year post-doctoral diplomas in exegesis from Rome’s Pontifical Biblical Institute and in archeology from Jerusalem’s École Biblique. He has been a mendicant friar and a catholic priest, a Co-Chair of the Jesus Seminar, and a President of the Society of Biblical Literature. His focus, whether scholarly or popular, whether in books, videos, or lectures, is on the historical Jesus as the norm and criterion for the entire Christian Bible. His reconstructed Jesus incarnates nonviolent resistance to the Romanization of his Jewish homeland and future hope of a transformed world and transfigured earth. Crossan’s method is to situate biblical texts within the reconstructed matrix of their own genre and purpose, their own time and place, and to hear them accurately for then before accepting or rejecting them for now.

Homebrewed Christianity w/ Dr. Tripp Fuller

I am thrilled to have one of the most prolific historical Jesus scholars bringing his wisdom to this special webinar. John Dominic Crossan has long been at the forefront of historical Jesus scholarship. In this webinar, he will share the most important archeological discovery for understanding Jesus - the Galilee boat. The live session will include a presentation from Crossan, discussion, and QnA. Not only will you learn about the Galilee boat itself, but you will see how a scholar weaves together archeology, historical data, and the Biblical texts for a better understanding of the Jesus of History.You can join our Advent class with Crossan by going here: https://www.crossanthroughadvent.com/

Dr. Tripp Fuller
Tripp just moved back to North Carolina after three years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theology & Science at the University of Edinburgh. He recently released Divine Self-Investment: a Constructive Open and Relational Christology, the first book in the Studies in Open and Relational Theology series. For over 14 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity podcast (think on-demand internet radio) where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill, or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 4 million downloads. It also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides to... topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History, etc. Tripp is a very committed and (some of his friends think overly ) engaged Lakers fan and takes Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very seriously.
