Early Understanding of Messiah: This course is an overview of how the earliest Messianic community understood Jesus as the Messiah. Messianic titles such as “Son of God,” “Son of Man,” “Lord,” “Wisdom,” and “Word” are discussed, with an emphasis on their Hebraic versus Hellenistic origin.
Messianic Apologetics: This course addresses the historical, cultural, and theological Jewish objections to Jesus as the Messiah and introduces students to apologetic thinking and methodologies. Many Christians are surprised to hear how many objections Jewish people have to the Messiahship of Jesus. Read more here: www.isca-apologetics.org/Jewish Apologetics.pdf.
