In the first days of Christianity, interest in Jesus’ early life began to grow. Out of that interest arose stories about the circumstances of his birth and childhood that are not conveyed in the canonical gospels. The Gospel of Thomas contains the stories about his childhood after being lost in the Temple and until beginning his ministry. The Gospel of James contains stories about his mother, Mary, including circumstances of her birth and childhood that prepared her to be the mother of Jesus. Join E.J. and Karen as they examine these little-known stories and discover their significance for us today.

Different versions of the arrest and trial, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus are depicted in the Gospels. As we compare them, we find differences that the Gospel writers wanted to convey in telling them with a specific purpose, and we see how they fit into the ideas of how Christianity developed and about what Jesus came to do and be. In this episode, we will examine the resurrection stories through the lens of each Gospel writer and compare and contrast their reasons for writing them as they do. Join Karen and E.J. in this discussion about Lenten themes.
