More Than A Religious Teacher:

Is Jesus history’s most under-appreciated philosopher?

We’re used to seeing Jesus as a figure for the afterlife, but we rarely talk about his insights for this life. Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, there’s no denying the legacy of the life and teachings of Jesus in our world.

A widely respected historian and Bible scholar, Jonathan Pennington (PhD, St. Andrews), hosted this conversation on the possibility of Jesus as the ultimate philosopher. Consider this a masterclass on the ancient art of human flourishing.

Jonathan Pennington (Ph.D., University of St. Andrews, Scotland), has been a professor of New Testament Studies for over 20 years in Louisville, Kentucky. He is the author of many books including Reading the Gospels Wisely, The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing, and Jesus the Great Philosopher: Rediscovering the Wisdom Needed for the Good Life.

He is a popular teacher, preacher, and speaker who travels extensively throughout North America visiting college campuses, churches, and as a visiting professor.
