Who Was Jesus Before Christianity?

Before Christianity became a religion, before centuries of theology and doctrine accumulated around him, there was a man named Jesus with a distinctive—and revolutionary—message. But what did he actually teach? What did he believe about God, about us, and about how we are meant to live? And for students of A Course in Miracles, there's another fascinating question: Does the Jesus we can recover from history sound like the Jesus we encounter in the Course? This episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles focuses on Robert's new book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, and what decades of research have revealed about the teacher behind Christianity. Order The Teacher and join us for Walking with the Teacher, a 14-day journey through the book with Robert and Emily, beginning October 12. https://jesus-theteacher.com/ ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
