Temptation of Jesus, part 1 Ron and John
There are fascinating connections between the Old Testament and the New in the story of Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. John and Ron look closely at this episode in the gospels to see what's going on with each of the offers that the devil makes, the background to Jesus' responses, and how that informs our reading.
Genesis 1-3 establishes a foundation for everything that follows in the Bible. The stories told there are crucial to the way Christians describe God's work in the world—just not always the way we expect! Ron and John look at these opening chapters carefully and in context to discuss how and why they are so theologically important.
Ron and John revisit an introduction to basic Christian theology in this update to the series that launched Orthodocs.faith. Join us as we articulate in nine sessions what we believe is the core of the Christian faith.
