STORY OF AMERICA - To properly understand the exploration and colonization of North America, one should have some understanding of Roman history. The Conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) during the mid-first century BC brought Roman occupation and influence to a land later to become France, one of North America’s major European founding nations. North American institutions, architecture, infrastructure, city planning, art, history, culture, manners, customs, traditions, political organizations, laws and language, owe a great deal to the Roman Empire. Join me on this fun precursor to the French exploration and colonization of North America.

Infancy gospels or protoevangelions are a genre of religious texts that arose in the 2nd century. They are part of New Testament apocrypha, and provide accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus. The texts are of various and uncertain origin, and are generally non-canonical in major modern branches of Christianity. They include the Gospel of James, which introduces the concept of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (not to be confused with the unrelated Gospel of Thomas), both of which cover many miraculous incidents from the life of Mary and the childhood of Jesus that are not included in the canonical gospels. E105.

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) gives us one of the first historical treatments of the life of Jesus in his pioneering book (1906) that reviews all prior work on the question of the "historical Jesus" and points out how Jesus of Nazareth's image has changed with the times—while offering his own synopsis and interpretation in this seminal work of biblical criticism.

Jesus, at the age of twelve, accompanies Mary and Joseph, and a large group of their relatives and friends to Jerusalem on pilgrimage for Passover. On the day of their return, Jesus lingered, staying in the Temple, but his parents thought that he was among their group when he was not. Mary and Joseph headed back home and after a day of travel realised Jesus was missing, so they returned to Jerusalem, finding the boy three days later. He was found in the Temple in discussion with the elders, listening to them and asking them questions. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!
