Shepherd of the Hills and Marin Lutheran Joint Adult Education Series— Coming at the end of June and the first 3 weeks of July: Thursdays, June 29th, and July 6th, 13th  and 20th from 6:30 to 8 pm. As in the past, we will begin with a light dinner and then the study. The title of our study is “From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians.”

This is a PBS FRONTLINE series exploring the life of Jesus and the movement he started, challenging familiar assumptions and conventional notions about the origins of Christianity. Drawing upon new and sometimes controversial historical evidence and interviews with the nation’s leading New Testament scholars, the series transports the viewer back two thousand years to the time and place where Jesus once lived and preached. The film traces Jesus’ life, focusing on the events that occurred after he died and on his first followers, the men and women whose belief, conviction, and martyrdom created a major movement that transformed the Roman Empire in the space of only three hundred years.
