Hi Ray and All,

?

Thank you Ray for the latest postings on your Website.? More spiritual food to digest.

?

On another topic, but still within the ambit of this course, there is a Spotlight series on Kanopy that is well worth watching.? I discovered Kanopy through another U3A course.? Although I don’t spend time watching videos, etc. this one caught my eye:? JESUS:? His Life.? “Explores the story of Jesus Christ through a unique lens:? the people in his life who were closest to Him.” There are about three commentators from different religions and from what I’ve heard so far, none are biased.? The series seem to be Bible based, albeit seen through the “fictitious” eyes of people close to him.

?

It is a series – 6 in all, I think.? I’ve watched the first four – Joseph’s perspective, then John the Baptist, Mary (mother of Jesus) and Caiaphas.? To me, all were quite thought-provoking.? I don’t think many of us have thought about Jesus from his human point of view as opposed to the Son of God aspect.? The Bible is pitched towards an account of events, rather than the effects of the event on an individual during Jesus’ time.? Very interesting and insightful.? It gave me a new appreciation of the God/human perspective.

?

For those of you are may not be familiar with Kanopy – it is a FREE resource, available through the Brisbane City Council Library, or your local Library.? You need to be a member of the Library, log-in, and create an separate account in Kanopy.? It took me a couple of tries before succeeding.? Maybe start with Google search:? kanopy.com? and follow the prompts.? That works!

?

If you can find the time to watch an episode or two, I’d be interested in your comments.

Blessings,
