To encounter Jesus is the deep hunger of faith.
In the Scriptures, affirmed by the church as God's living Word, we can meet and come to know the person Jesus Christ.
Throughout the fall of 2008, beginning with the presentation of C21 Resources and continuing through eighteen lectures, discussions, panels, conversation series and C21 Online workshops, BC's Church in the 21st Century Center will explore how Jesus is discovered in the Scriptures, by whom, and to what effect in human life, art, history and ethics.
We invite you to join us on-campus if possible, or to enjoy our webcast presentations and podcasts, available worldwide two weeks after each event.
Who is Jesus? And why is he so important? Come and see.
