Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Tedder explores the Nicene Creed and the importance of understanding its affirmations about Jesus within the Jewish and biblical context from which Christianity emerged.
Examining the ways early Christianity translated and contextualized its message, Dr. Tedder considers how the Church’s understanding of Jesus developed as the faith expanded beyond its Jewish beginnings. Drawing on the Gospel of John, key biblical passages, and the work of scholars such as Richard Bauckham, he highlights how the Jewish Scriptures and worldview provide an essential framework for understanding the identity and divinity of Jesus.
This thought-provoking presentation calls for a re-rooting of Christian theology in its biblical and Jewish foundations, offering a deeper appreciation of the Nicene faith and the identity of Jesus within the story of Israel.
