COMMON GROUND: JESUS/PAUL, WITH JERROL LEITNER. Jesus’ message is primarily to Israel, but Paul’s mission is to the Gentiles. Jesus preaches the Kingdom of God, but Paul preaches Jesus the Christ. Noting this disparity, some scholars claim that Paul changes the religion OF Jesus to a religion ABOUT Jesus. Other scholars suggest that Paul replaces Jesus’ Judaism with a spirituality that evolves into Christianity. Still other scholars assert instead that Paul, a good disciple, follows Jesus faithfully, practicing and preaching a consistent message. 7-9 pm, Thursday, March 10 at the Chicago Temple Bldg, 2nd floor, 77 W. Washington (at Clark), Chicago. $10 fee, payable to Common Ground. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Co-sponsored by the Swedenborg Library. RSVP to info@SwedLib.org Jerrol Leitner, holds an M.A., Theology, St. John University, Collegeville, MN; M.A., English, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, IL; he is retired from 40 years teaching English and Theology; he is a former English department chair at St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights.
