Historical Jesus

Coming just over halfway through the Twelve Days of Christmas, the New Year brought another important medieval Christian feast-day: The first of January is the eighth day after Christmas, which meant it was the day when Jesus of Nazareth was circumcised according to Jewish law.     Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/BiEdNia3ZdE which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.

January First is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics (meaning that Mass attendance is required), also observed by some Protestants (Anglicans & Lutherans) as a related feast. On this day, the Church proclaims Mary as Theotokos (God-bearer), affirming that the Son she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit is truly God and truly man. The Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is thus a liturgical celebration observed on January 1st and marks the octave of Christmas, celebrating her divine motherhood.

The word testament in the expression "New Testament" refers to a new covenant that Christians believe completes or fulfils the Mosaic covenant or the old covenant that the national god of Israel made with the people of Israel on Mount Sinai through Moses, described in the books of the Old Testament. Christians traditionally view this new covenant as being prophesied in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Jeremiah.

The third of the New Testament's four canonical Gospels is Luke. It tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. The author is anonymous but the traditional view that Luke the Evangelist was the companion of Paul is still put forward. The most probable date for its composition is around AD 80–110, and there is evidence that it was still being revised well into the 2nd century. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!

The first book of the New Testament of the Bible and one of the three synoptic Gospels. Matthew tells how Israel's messiah (Christ), Jesus, comes to his people (the Jews) but is rejected by them and how, after his resurrection, he sends the disciples to the gentiles instead. Matthew wishes to emphasize that the Jewish tradition should not be lost in a church that was increasingly becoming gentile. The gospel reflects the struggles and conflicts between the evangelist's community and the other Jews, particularly with its sharp criticism of the scribes and Pharisees with the position that through their rejection of Christ, the Kingdom of Heaven has been taken away from them and given instead to the church. The gospel is anonymous. Traditionally attributed to the Apostle Matthew, the predominant scholarly view is that it was written in the last quarter of the first century by an anonymous Jew familiar with technical legal aspects of scripture. Most scholars think Matthew used the Gospel of Mark and the hypothetical sayings Gospel Q (which consists of the material Matthew shares in common with Luke) and is the product of the second generation of the Christian movement, though it draws on the memory of the first generation of the disciples of Jesus.

Believed to be the earliest extant Gospel and the second of the four canonical Gospels and one of the three synoptic Gospels. Mark’s gospel tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death, the burial of his body, and the discovery of his empty tomb. It portrays Jesus as a teacher, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker, though it does not mention a miraculous birth or divine pre-existence. Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is called the Son of God but keeps his messianic nature secret; even his disciples fail to understand him. All this is in keeping with the Christian interpretation of prophecy, which is believed to foretell the fate of the messiah as suffering servant. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!

Saint Nicholas was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in modern-day Turkey during the time of the Roman Empire. His legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Saint Nick, better known as Santa Claus. Little is known about the historical Saint Nicholas. The earliest accounts of his life were written centuries after his death and probably contain legendary elaborations. Ee60.

A bright, icy, small Solar System body passes by Earth and is observed around the world every 76 years. Its tail is over 96 million miles long of dust and gas blown out from the coma surrounding its nucleus. British scientist Edmund Halley's calculations predicted the comet would return, and it did. Halley used Isaac Newton's law of gravity to calculate the orbits of the comets. He concluded that these comets were actually the same comet returning on a long elliptical orbit around the sun. The Comet has been observed throughout history, including near the time of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

The Gospel of Matthew's genealogy is a treasure trove of symbolism, revealing essential truths about Jesus' heritage and mission. In a culture where lineage was synonymous with identity, let’s learn along with the Hearing Jesus podcast, how Matthew strategically crafts his genealogy as a bridge connecting the messianic promises to their fulfillment in Jesus.

Christians believe Jesus has an historical context; he was born in history; he is neither a myth nor a legend. Jesus is both historical and verifiable according to Christians and most historians. They point out that he is mentioned not only in the New Testament, but by contemporaries and early documents. Christian scripture persistently places him within history as a man who walked the earth in real time, a man who permanently altered the history into which he was born. Ee43.  Books by Dr. Ralph F.

A key figure and major promoter of the English colonization of New England was Pioneering colonist Ferdinando Gorges (1565-1647), a British naval, military commander, and investor in the Popham Colony. His early involvement in English trade with and settlement of America as well as his efforts in founding the Province of Maine earned him the title of the "Father of English Colonization in America," even though he never set foot in the New World. The Plymouth Company was chartered by King James in 1606 with responsibility for colonizing the northern east coast of America. The merchants agreed to finance the settlers’ trip in return for repayment of their expenses plus interest out of the profits made. The Plymouth Company established the Popham Colony, in present-day Maine, the northern answer to the previously discussed Jamestown Colony, founded by the Virginia Company of London. The Popham Colony was named for its chief investor and Lord Chief Justice of England Sir John Popham who presided over the trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot, including Guy Fawkes.

December 12th celebrates the annual Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, commemorating the Virgin Mary's apparitions to Saint Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, where she requested a shrine be built on Tepeyac Hill, leaving her image miraculously imprinted on his cloak (tilma) as proof, making her Mexico's patron saint and a profound religious icon. Millions of pilgrims visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City annually, often crawling on their knees in devotion, marking a major religious and cultural event that starts the holiday season.  Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/w7zW2DCntoY which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.

The concept of Purgatory is not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin.

Celebrated annually on December 8th as a solemn feast day, the Immaculate Conception’s observance began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. The Immaculate Conception is the dogma that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This doctrine states that Mary was preserved from the "stain of sin" from the first moment of her conception through a unique grace from God, granted in anticipation of her role as the mother of Jesus.
