Seeing Jesus from the East
Have you ever considered the cultural settings of Jesus’ teachings? Jesus lived and taught in Eastern culture. What more could we learn if we read His teachings with that Eastern mindset? Abdu Murray is a scholar who grew up under both Eastern and Western flags so he understands both worlds. Abdu will help us recapture Jesus’ “eastern-ness” in order to magnify His teaching and explore its relevance to seekers and believers on both sides of the globe!
