Unashamed Classroom, Room 122 Dr Christopher Tuckett of Oxford University Accuracy of the Syrian Physician and Ancient Historian- Luke. Upcoming Meetings Today: Nursery Sunday School Meeting, 4:00 pm Wednesday, February 15: Youth Leadership Team, 5:30 pm Roman Historian Tacitus (Annals of Roman History 116 AD) Syrian Philosopher Mar Bar Serapion (70AD) Pliny the Younger Magistrate of Ancient Rome (112 AD) Jewish Historian Flavius Josephus (93 AD) Babylonian Talmud- Ancient Jewish Rabbinical Teachings Luke 1:1-4 Sir William Ramsey- historian and archaeologist. Luke 3:1,2 Luke’s dating of the beginning of the ministry of Jesus was during the time of “Lysanius tetrarch of Abilene.” For a long time Luke could not be taken seriously as a historian because it was common knowledge that Lysanius was not a tetrarch but the ruler of Chalcis a half century earlier. The critics fell silent when an inscription was found, dating to the time of Tiberius (AD 14-37), which named Lysanius as Tetrarch in Abilene precisely as Luke had written. Evidence that Demands a Verdict. Bono of the rock group U2 said, “When people say ‘Good teacher,’ ‘Prophet,’ ‘Really nice guy,’ … this is not how Jesus thought of himself,” Bono said. “So, you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who He said He was or a complete and utter nut case…and I believe Jesus was the Son of God.” –(2013 Interview with Focus on the Family) Listen to sermons & view notes anytime on our website - villaheights.com Today’s Message: “Evidence from History” February 12, 2017
