On Sunday I kicked off a new series of seminars at ChristChurch London called Theology Matters: The Gospels. Throughout 2015 I’ll be running 12 of these seminars, looking in depth at the gospels. You can find out more here and register for the next few sessions.

The recordings are a little rough and ready, due to the interactive nature of the sessions, but here’s the first one:

What was first century Israel like? Who were the main players of the day? And into what kind of world was Jesus born? 

This first session of Theology Matters will help us to understand the historical background of the gospels and give us fresh insights that will help us read the story of Jesus’ birth in context.
