"Is There a Humanist Jesus?" -- Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader

There was a time in studies of "the historical Jesus" to find that Jesus had been, as a Sunday School teacher of my childhood said, "the greatest ethical teacher of all time."

Distinguishing between the Jesus of history and the Jesus of belief and faith is difficult enough -- we also have to distinguish between a lot of different understandings of each of those Jesuses.

Jone will bring to bear some of her Bible history studies and her interest in religion in modern culture to try to answer this platform's title question.
