Jesus reasons with the Doctors and Lawyers who are astounded at his questions and insights

Jesus was the living word. As such, he had a perfect understanding of the ‘TANAK,’ the Torah, the prophets, and writings. He incorporated existing hermeneutical methodology and tools into his teaching but re-interpreted them in an astonishing way. In this course, we will study the rhetorical devices that Jesus, Paul, and the early Apostles used to communicate their message in the gospels and epistles.

Beginning with a look at Rabbinical exegetical techniques used in the famous ‘sermon on the mount,’ we paint a picture of how the apostle Paul further interwove his message into the Greek culture using other well-known Greek oratorical and Jewish devices. By understanding the methodology of both Christ and Paul, we have a real template from which to work when attempting to communicate the message of the cross to contemporary culture.

After this study, your approach to communicating the gospel in a post-modern 21st-century culture (which is very similar to the first-century Mediterranean culture) will be transformed and you will be an effective witness to the gospel of Yeshua.
