The Council of Christians and Jews Victoria presents a public lecture by Paul Forgatz on How Jesus the Fatih Jew became the Christ of Christianity at Toorak Uniting Church on Sunday 5th of July.
Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew. He taught the religion of his ancestors and lived in accordance with Jewish law. So How did this mortal man, executed by the Romans as “King of the Jews”, become Jesus Christ – Son of God, The second person of the triune Godhead, the Holy Trinity? In this seminar we will explore how the Jesus of history became the Christ of Christian faith.
