Designed for senior college study groups, this textbook invites readers to explore the social and ethical convictions that guided Jesus’s life. Rather than providing a biography or doctrinal treatise, it presents key biblical passages and simple propositions that illuminate how Jesus regarded human worth, community, and justice. The material is organized to spark personal reflection and lively discussion, linking ancient teachings to the pressing social challenges faced by today’s students.
Each chapter poses questions about the value of life, the treatment of the vulnerable, and the societal structures of the time, encouraging learners to draw their own conclusions. With daily Bible readings and thoughtful prompts, the book serves both as a study aid and a source of moral insight, aiming to help young adults navigate the complexities of modern society through the lens of Jesus’s timeless principles.
