Description
This course is an introductory study of our Lord’s life and times according to the Gospels of
Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It examines the background of the world into which Christ came “when
the time had fully come.” It focuses on His life from the Annunciation to the Ascension. It also
stresses His message and His method, including His parables and His miracles. Organized around
three themes—the world, the Man, and the message—this study helps students integrate their
understanding of Christ’s life and work with a clear commitment to live by the principles He taught
and the values He demonstrated.
