Over 50 students and staff gathered from Year 11 Studies of Religion and Years 10 and 11 Theology to hear Dr Bock speak. He addressed the presence and use of cultural script, evidence for Jesus’ Jewish heritage before providing a cultural historical context for his identity and life. Students were invited to converse with Dr Bock following the lecture and responded with insightful and reflective questions. This was a unique opportunity for students to engage with matters of faith: to be challenged in their understanding of Christian values in a context of intellectual rigor and excellence.
