Discuss: The Humanity of Jesus

To begin, prepare for discussion by reading Reardon, "The Jesus We Missed".

After reading the above, respond to the following prompt:

In evangelical circles, we tend to emphasize the deity of Jesus, perhaps because that is what has most been challenged by non-Christians and liberal Christians. Because of that, the full humanity of Jesus has sometimes been downplayed or even ignored.

From the reading in Reardon, describe at least 3 concepts that were not considered before in the understanding of the humanity of Jesus. In addition to describing each lesson, share how each one impacts the way that one should live life in imitating Christ.

Next, explain at least 2 concepts that Reardon shared with which there is a struggle, whether in understanding, accepting, or following that aspect of Jesus' humanity.

Finally, explain 1 or 2 items that have left questions about from the book.
