The Meaning of Lent, With Rev. Dr. Jesse Tanner, Unity Scholar

While still a ministerial student at Unity Institute® andSeminary, Dr. Tanner has recently received his Ph.D., with a focus on New Testament studies. He has been preparing a paper for the Society of Biblical Literature, which posits that the quest for the historical Jesus may have erred in either neglecting or totally ignoring the record of the faith, memory and experience of the disciples of Jesus or their account of the impact of Jesus' life and teachings. Join E.J. as she interviews Dr. Tanner and explores what we may still learn about Jesus and his ministry through the eyes of those who knew him best.

Interview With Jesse Tanner, Ph.D.

Dr. Shepherd’s panel will look at ideas that most likely will require deep discussion and serious consideration by progressive thinkers in the postmodern world. What is the nature of God; or shall the very word God be abandoned? What makes a person or a religious movement Christian; or shall that word be abandoned, too? What is the fundamental nature of human consciousness? Are we good, bad or something else? How can we live in the real world, acknowledging honestly that humanity is capable of horrific evil, while still holding to the ideal of the imago Dei, the image of God, within each person? Shall we pray to God, with God, or as God? The panel will attempt to come up with a working list of controversial topics which progressive-minded people will face in the decades ahead.
