Two Stories about Jesus and the Public Square
It's already time for another Logos lecture! The March edition of the Lecture Series features Dr. Darrell Bock of Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Bock will be speaking on "Two Stories about Jesus and the Public Square." The lecture begins at 7:00 PM on Saturday, March 1 at the Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham, Washington.
The talk will discuss the origins of the alternative Jesus story in our culture. Dr. Bock will also explore the term "Jesusanity" (which for many people in American culture is Christianity). The lecture will conclude with some responses to this type of Christianity and some time for Q&A.
Dr. Bock has earned international recognition as a Humboldt Scholar (Tübingen University in Germany) and for his work in Luke-Acts and in Jesus examination before the Jews. He was president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) for 20002001, and serves as corresponding editor at large for Christianity Today. His articles appear in leading journals and periodicals, including many secular publications such as the Los Angeles Times and the Dallas Morning News. He has been a New York Times best-selling author in nonfiction, and is elder emeritus at Trinity Fellowship Church in Dallas.

Since I don't live in Washington, is this talk going to be available in downloadable mp3? That would be great if it was.

This was an incredible lecture from one of Dallas Theological's finest! Darrell Bock was very personable, and able to relate his material to a young and older audience. Darrell Bock and Daniel Wallace co authored a book entitled "Dethroning Jesus" that speaks to the subject matter covered. His lecture and his book exposes the popular culture's quest to unseat the biblical Christ. Thank you Logos for bringing these great lectures to our community!

Do you folk make these sessions available online via a podcast or something? That would rule since I can't possibly make it out to Washington.
