The Jesus Biography Project

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I know that some of you haven’t spent masses of time looking at Jesus. This is an opportunity for a bit of a research project.

It’s due in the penultimate week of term (the week before last).

Your task is to write a brief biography of Jesus, explaining the link between what he did and who Christians believe him to be. The handout with all the details you need is here.

Resources:
Basic introduction to Jesus’ life
BBC Religion – Life of Jesus
ReligionFacts.com – Life of Jesus

You can also use the New Steps in RE: Book One book, which has a whole chapter on the life of Jesus, as well as the other books around the classroom.

Jesus in other cultures

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Jesus as a man from the Middle East (Israel). However, many people draw pictures of him as a person from another culture to show that Jesus is not just there for people from Israel – he is for everybody.

Have a look at some of the pictures from this website and use them to illustrate the point that Jesus is for everyone.

Of course, all of the pictures tell us different things about Jesus too. You will do even better if you can explain what else these pictures might say about Jesus. I have a little book explaining each one if you want to try this.
