ABOUT THE “JESUS . . . WHO” PANEL
As minister of this church, I was asked by the Reverend Kevin Larson of the Karis Church here in Columbia to participate on a panel discussion about Jesus. Also on the panel was Dr. Tom Schreiner, Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Seminary in Louisville, and Shakir Al-Ani, a local scholar connected with the Islamic Center of Mid-Missouri. We were each given 20 minutes of initial presentation describing our respective views about who Jesus was. My presentation is based upon biblical scholarship and not as a Christian confessional. My views are thoroughly Unitarian Universalist, that Jesus was a man and not God, that he lived and died just like every other human, and that his message has continued value in the way we conduct our lives with one another today.
