After Jesus' death and before the gospels were written, the Jesus Movement consisted of groups who considered radical ideas for living as a community. Some of these ideas came from philosophies of the day but were fueled by the teachings of Jesus and his followers. In this series, E.J. and Karen will explore some of the philosophical ideas about community life that were developing at that time and that would inform what would be captured as the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels, which were written down later. The excitement of this possible way of life had a life of its own and informed the beginnings of Christianity. Join Karen and E.J. in rediscovering the excitement of these world-changing ideas.
