A quick look at the Person of Jesus Seminar

The person of Jesus is the most overlooked and understudied part of our faith. Many Christians are so aware of Jesus' divinity that they have forgotten he's a person. Reintroducing people to their first love through an interactive method of Bible study, the Person of Jesus Seminar invites attendees into the crowd that followed Jesus. They see firsthand Jesus’ compassion to the widow of Nain, his uncomfortable honesty towards Simon the Pharisee, and how he loves a woman with a reputation. Along the way, people get hands on training in leading interactive Bible studies and learn how to use the study with seekers.

Person of Jesus Seminar Endorsements

"It took a session or two to get through to me, but I see the point—I am not at all like Jesus, yet I am totally drawn to Him more. I was undone in a marvelous way."
— Rev Mick Leary, Homer, NY

"This has been so refreshing—so encouraging and such an innovative approach—not only in content but I love the brainstorming, charts and group approach." — Carol Hill, Charlottesville, VA

"The Person of Jesus format fits a style that is a heart felt desire of this 20’s, 30’s generation… the interactive style is timeless but your resource timely!"
— Don Munton, Single Adult Minister, Houston’s First Baptist Church, TX

“I will often be asked to lead some type of neighborhood outreach Bible study and have had the opportunity on several occasions to use your material. It has been great. I appreciate so much your humility and hard work to produce this type of curriculum. It helps me to have something like this in my arsenal to use rather than always creating my own stuff. [Your material] exposes people to Jesus in an accessible way. People, I am convinced, want to know more about Him, but are often intimidated by Bible study—it seems so archaic and intellectual. Your material is anything but that.”
— Mike Donohue, Baltimore Area Director of Search Ministries
