Understanding Christianity, Islam, and the Modern World
How did the obscure Jewish sect called ‘The Way’ become the Christian Church? How did the communities of Jesus’ disciples continue their life and mission as the first generation of Apostolic leaders passed? We deal with these and other questions in this lecture.
Delivered at Christ Church, San Antonio, Texas on September 25, 2016.
I am teaching a six-part series on early church history at Christ Church here in San Antonio. I have decided to put the lectures online for anyone who is interested in the topic.
This was delivered on September 18. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments section.
I recently taught an intensive semester on church history at the International Bible College of Zambia. The campus is far removed from any large city and the stars at night were easily visible. Here is what we saw each evening around dinner time.
Some time ago Bishop Hector Monterroso of the Anglican Diocese of Costa Rica invited me to provide some ongoing education for the clergy of the diocese, but he also invited my family to come down to Costa Rica and spend some time here. And we did it! Here is a picture of my youngest one at the Museum of Pre-Columbian Gold.
I just received my author’s copy of Arab Evangelicals in Israel, which I co-authored with Azar Ajaj and Philip Sumpter.
Update: The book is now available from the publisher and also for Kindle.
I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing, and then having lunch with, Ali Shimshek. He is the person who translated the New Testament into modern Turkish, and his translation is used by Protestant and Catholic churches throughout Turkish every day.
