Episode 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.
28 mins
Episode 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.
28 mins
Episode 03 - 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.
28 mins
Episode 05 - Democracy
Jesus is not often associated with having anything to say about democracy. Jesus did, however, teach about freedom, and many of His teachings had political implications that have been developed by Christians over the last 2000 years.
28 mins
Episode 06 - 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.
28 mins
Episode 07 - 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.
28 mins
Episode 08 - Education and Health
Social institutions, such as hospitals and universities, had their genesis in the Christian Church and were motivated by Jesus’ radical example of caring for those in need and teaching everyone, not just wealthy males.
28 mins
Episode 09 - Wealth
Surprisingly, Jesus spoke more about money than nearly any other topic. Jesus challenged the prevailing wisdom of His day, and taught that all money was God’s, to be used for Him instead of for personal advancement.
28 mins
Episode 10 - Reason and Science
Despite the popular stereotype that Christianity is anti-intellectual and anti-scientific, modern education, academia and science are actually rooted in large measure in the teachings of Jesus.
28 mins
