A new small group class, utilizing Bart Ehrman’s New Insights into the New Testament Seminar for 2025, will be offered at the church on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings beginning July 7th and 8th. This class, led by Pete Fleming, features videos of ten New Testament scholars’ lectures on various aspects of the Historical Jesus Quest. Classes will meet twice weekly for ten weeks: Tuesdays from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.; Wednesdays from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. Participants may attend either class. Video presenters include Amy-Jill Levine, Dale Allison, Elaine Pagels, Paula Fredriksen and others. Each class will view one 40-minute lecture, followed by a time of discussion. Participants are encouraged to read E.P. Sanders’s book, The Historical Figure of Jesus, which presents the basic outlines of the Historical Jesus scholarship. The book can be purchased for under $10. Please contact Pete Fleming by e-mail at lfleming3832@att.net or Rev. Dr. AnnaKate Rawles by e-mail at arawles@duluthumc.org to register and also letting them know which day you will attend. Once the size of each class has been determined, participants will be notified of the classroom location.
