I can tell already that this course is going to be very helpful. It seems to me that it's important to start with the basics. So I have this essential first question: How do we know about Jesus? Or to put the question in a more formal way: What are the major sources for Christology? >> DR. DAVID SCAER: This is a question that not only concerns Christians but also those that are outside the church. It's a question that comes up frequently around Christmas and Easter in popular magazines. It's also been a topic of the DaVinci Code. The question is answered in this way: We know about Jesus through the holy scriptures, particularly the New Testament, and even in a more defined way, through the gospels. These writings were written by men who actually knew Jesus. So we not only look upon the scriptures as the word of God but we also look upon the scriptures as historical documents written at particular times and situations about a particular man called Jesus. *** This text is being provided in a rough draft format.
