Follow an acclaimed archaeologist to unearth the roots of Jesus' actions and teachings within the traditions and beliefs of ancient Judaism. These fascinating 24 lectures approach the subject of Jesus from a historical, rather than scriptural, perspective; one rooted in ancient texts and archaeological discoveries. This investigation reveals hidden insights into how the tumultuous events of early Jewish history shaped an individual - and a movement - whose legacy endures to this day.

important Contribution from Professor Magness
Revisado: 01-10-22
Exceptionally well informed and firmly situated in textual and archaeological evidence, this course illuminates how christians and non-christians should understand how Jesus bubbles up from the beliefs and sociopolitics of ancient Judea.

From Genesis to Job, the Hebrew scriptures contain some of the most influential stories in Western civilization. But what do these stories tell us about daily life in ancient Israel? And why do they still speak to us today? In 24 captivating lectures, Professor Chapman introduces you to the stories of the Judeans in exile and grounds them in their historical context, giving you a grand vision of history as presented in the scriptures.

This is well worth your investment of time. Professor Chapman shines a light on Biblical Israel using a diverse set of observations from archaeology, ancient texts, and social/political insights. A unique, engaging and rational voice that should be added to your list.

Luke Timothy Johnson, the best-selling author of The Real Jesus, offers a fresh and historically grounded assessment of the life and letters of Christianity's "apostle to the Gentiles" in this 12-lecture series. "One of the most fascinating, important, and controversial figures in the religious history of the West, Paul the Apostle continues to find champions and detractors, sometimes in surprising places," says Professor Johnson. Coming to grips with Christianity means coming to grips with Paul.

A Great Professor.
Revisado: 03-27-21
A terrific contribution from one of my favorite narrators on the early Christianities. Grounded, well-reasoned approach provides the listener with the tools to critically evaluate the significance of Paul of Tarsus. Highly recommended.

How did a persecuted sect in 1st-century Palestine rise to command such a massive influence on human culture, imagination, and spirit? How did Christianity weather the first critical stages of its historical development and attain its fundamental and enduring cultural role?

An Overview of the First Half of Christian History

Outstanding, Even-Handed and Polished
Revisado: 03-18-21
This is an exceptional presentation, exceeding the already very high standards set for the Great Courses. Grounded in historical fact-finding principles, the narrator is careful to draw distinctions on where our understanding crosses from fact to probable to speculative. Highly recommended.

What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

We Need to Talk About Jesus
Revisado: 01-05-21
This professor briefly makes a distinction between the evidence-based historical Christ and the non evidence-based beliefs of Christ's followers. Then, he promptly conflates the two and presents the New Testament "teachings" of Christ. Other reviews have mentioned the Catholic bias. The Teaching Company has other, very good material about the historical Jesus and his Jewish roots in which the instructors are careful to maintain a boundary between historical facts and cultural beliefs. This instructor is not so careful, so we must throw out his material on Christianity.

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

Shrill and Poorly Researched
Revisado: 04-17-20
Unfortunately, a promising premise is delivered as a belligerent diatribe. Cringe-inducing narration. The window of relevance for this title has already expired, thankfully. There are far more intelligent and better researched titles available on the topic of bias. As most of the commenters here have already mentioned, this title will challenge your listening resolve and you shouldn't be criticized for simply putting it down and moving on to a better title.

Do the lessons passed down to us by history, lessons whose origins may lie hundreds, even thousands of years in the past, still have value for us today? Is Santayana's oft-repeated saying, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," merely a way to offer lip service to history as a teacher-or can we indeed learn from it? And if we can, what is it that we should be learning?

Sweeping Unsubstantiated Claims, but Insightful
Revisado: 01-07-20
This title is different from most Great Courses - those that set out a premise, and carefully build to substantiate these premises. Instead, this title aims to superficially compose a sweeping narrative to contextualize Western history and our prospects for the future.
I did enjoy the presenter. He glides through key historical moments and draws out some insights. The grand scope leaves a ton of material to cover, so it can be forgiven that he doesn't dive too much into details, or take much effort to carefully substantiate his beliefs. Some may find the glib treatment as shallow, some may find it humorous. I enjoyed this title more after considering it entertainment, rather than education.
The huge - and I mean huge - negatives are the embarrassing statements about Judaism and the Old Testament. Many of the reviewers have commented on this aspect, and they are spot on. History and the lessons to be learned from history - always and into the future - started with Ancient Israel (and to a lesser extent the Greeks) according to Professor Fears. Not only for Western Christian Man, but for all the world, according to him. Truly cringeworthy for non-zealots. If you can get past the sections about "Yahweh" and "Books of Samuel," this might be worthwhile.

A rambling and unstructured stream of drivel set to a godawful brain-withering soundtrack. I hope this review saves you pain and time.
