*** Free and open to all ***

Two thousand years ago, an itinerant preacher and miracle worker walked across the Galilee, gathering followers to establish what he called the "Kingdom of God." The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was captured as a state criminal.

Within decades, some of his followers would call him the son of God, others would label him a heretic while others still would call him a prophet.

Come learn about the differing interpretations of the life of Jesus (a) and how those interpretations shape our world today.
