Class Description
Using the Bible as our primary text, we will explore the Christ idea as it relates to Jesus and all humankind. We will attempt to discover:
- What the Christ idea is
- Where the Christ idea came from
- What it meant to the people of Jesus’ time
- How the Christ idea evolved during the period the books of the Christian scripture were written
You may come to this class with well-developed ideas about both Jesus and the Christ. I encourage you to be willing to re-examine those ideas in the light of what you discover as you engage the texts we will study in class.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Define “Christ” and explain how the Christ idea came to be
- Explain the differences and similarities between the Christ idea and Jesus Christ
- Cite biblical evidence supporting the Christhood of all people and analyze that evidence for its validity
- Use the example of Jesus Christ as a means of putting on the Christ and beholding the Christ in others
- (Maybe) Examine and describe in a written essay the evolution of his/her understanding of the Christ
- Understand the difference between “Christ” and “Christ Consciousness”
- Apply the Christ in their own life experiences
This course is designed to meet the educational needs for Unity S.E.E. students, however, the class and experiences are designed for everyone and anyone interested in Living Into Divine Consciousness (The Christ) idea.
