On Thursday 17th July The Scots College welcomed leading academic and theologian Dr Darrell Bock to deliver a lecture on the Jewish background of Jesus Christ. Dr Bock is currently Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Profession of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary in the US. He is a leading international scholar of theology and has written over thirty books on topics related to the Bible, including the New York Times bestselling Breaking the Da Vinci Code and a new book entitled Truth Matters: Confident Faith in a Confusing World written specifically for students thinking about the place of faith and truth in the University. Dr Bock joined us as a guest of the Centre for Public Christianity, and as one of a number of public and academic speaking engagements during his visit to Australia.

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.
