Which books make up the New Testament, and how does it differ from the Old Testament? When were these texts written, and what was the cultural and historical context of first-century Palestine?

Biblical scholar Nate Rassayer will introduce the character of Jesus, explore the world into which he was born, and examine how historians interpret the many accounts of his life. Part of this month’s series on the three Abrahamic faiths, this lecture takes a religiously neutral, literary approach and welcomes people of all faiths and none.
