Jesus,  Violence,  and the Kingdom of Peace

Columbia Bible College

April 22-26, 2024 from 9:00 AM-4:30 PM, a 5-day course with Jesse Nickel

Explore the place of violence and peace within Jesus’s ministry, and the implications of this for followers of Jesus today. This course will examine how Jesus responded to contemporary expectations about how God’s kingdom would come and how he would participate in that event. It will also demonstrate the centrality of peace to Jesus’s vision of the kingdom and peacemaking to the identity of his disciples.Jesus is widely perceived as being against violence and for peace. But is that perception accurate to what we find in the Gospels? How are violence and peacemaking connected to Jesus's ministry? Did Jesus consider this to be an issue of great significance, or more peripheral to his main goals? And how ought this to impact contemporary Christian discipleship?Audit Fee: $321To audit this course, purchase a ticket through eventbrite.Student Tuition: $1,125For student registration, contact <a href="mailto:academics@columbiabc.edu" title="mailto:academics@columbiabc.edu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">academics@columbiabc.edu</a>.
