Experience the joy of the good news from a Jewish sage in Galilee called Jesus. Study the texts which Matthew, Mark and Luke composed about him and how this good news spread from Jerusalem to the countries east of the Mediterranean Sea. For the second semester (SS 202), you will learn about the stories of the birth, death and resurrection of the Messiah in the Synoptic Gospels and the mission of the early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles.
