Week 01 - Jesus
To introduce the series, this episode establishes the historicity of Jesus, and, to a certain extent, the Gospels as accurate source material for His life and teaching. It also shows the centrality of Jesus’ place in the narrative of human history.

Week 02 - Equality
Jesus taught that each individual had inherent value – they were loved by God and worthy of love and consideration from other people. The teaching of Jesus, Paul the Apostle and Augustine (384-322 AD) soon after, shifted the focus from people being viewed only as members of families, castes, cities or communities, to being individuals of worth. This became the central plank of western thought and the foundation on which modern democracies were built. The shift to the focus on the individual and hence the foundation of modern western thought is directly attributable to the teachings of Jesus.

Week 03 - Women and Children
Though Christianity is sometimes stereotyped in the popular imagination as a patriarchal religion, this is an inaccurate reflection of both Jesus’ teaching and the history of the Church. For His time, Jesus was radically inclusive of both men and women. On the whole, the Church has been a place where women have experienced greater freedom than in society. In the same way Jesus went out of his way to focus on children, giving them worth.

Week 04 - Care
Though Jesus interacted with everyone, more than anyone else, Jesus ministered among the poor and marginalised and He taught His followers to do likewise. Christians’ willingness to obey Jesus has profoundly shaped our world.

Week 05 - Leadership
Despite being the most influential figure in human history, Jesus did not follow the conventional patterns of leadership of His time. He gathered only a small group of followers in His lifetime and died a humiliating death at the hands of the Roman authorities. His call for His followers to serve one another as servant leaders is one of the most powerful and enduring ideas from all of His example and teaching.

Week 06 - Forgiveness
‘Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us’ is the closest thing to a command in the Lord’s Prayer, the most famous prayer in history. Jesus taught extensively about forgiveness and His words have echoed down the centuries to be some of the most significant ever spoken.
