About this listen
Grow closer to our Lord by contemplating the person of Jesus Christ.
In this revelatory audio course, you will explore the full reality of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, our Lord and Savior. Each of the course’s 12 lectures illuminates different portraits of Jesus: a man and mystic, a preacher and servant, a prophet and incarnation of God.
Under the guidance of award-winning teacher Fr. Donald Goergen, you will explore the human, historic Jesus, drawing out the contours of the man who lived among us. You will then approach Scripture with a Christological eye. In the synoptic gospels, you will see Christ as a prophet, preacher, and teacher from Galilee. You will also explore the richest source of Christology: the Gospel of John, where you will see Jesus as the Word made flesh, the eternal Son of God come to earth. In the epistles of Paul, you will explore the Risen Christ who resurrected from the dead, the Messiah who will come again. Finally, you will consider the many faces of Jesus that exist in various cultures. These portrayals may differ in their details, but they share the belief in his deep connection with all creation and the cosmos as a whole.
Through this journey, you will enrich your life as a disciple of Christ, who came among us as a man of God, died on the cross, and triumphed over death.
This course is part of the Learn25 Collection.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times,in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders.

Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization’s most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.

In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and best-selling author N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology - transforming a faith and changing the world. For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus" and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the church's most widely cited saints.

Fr. Georgen is everything you'd want in a great professor, erudite, clear, engaging. But, in this series, his deep faith shines through. This is a series of lectures about the theology of Jesus Christ. Along the way, you encounter the great ideas that shaped Christianity and gain a better understanding of salvation. I highly recommend this audio course.
