Now that you have a sense of the historical context of Jesus' life and teachings, as well as a sense of how the Church progresses, choose one of the following questions:
Is Christianity a religion for the minority or for the majority? Is the theology better suited to people who are oppressed outsiders, or dominant insiders?
If someone with the equivalent of Jesus' social status, from a region of the world equivalent to Galilee, were to begin teaching a social and political message similar to Jesus' in the modern world (stick with Europe, the US or Latin America), how would that person be received by others? What does your response tell you about the influence of Jesus' ideas?
Choose a passage/event from the Gospel of Luke and explain why it can be considered the heart/core of Jesus' teaching.
Stick to the 2-3 paragraph format, and please label your post 'Christianity.'
