Film Program: “The Humanism of Jesus”

Posted by 4thUadmin Dec 22 2007 under Educational

A video of a highly dramatic one-person play, with Joseph Ben-David in five different roles, will be screened at Fourth U on Friday, January 18, 2008, from 7:00 - 9:30 PM. The play, which was performed for four months in New York, presents Jesus as a humanistic personality who challenges ancient and contemporary myths about his life and aspirations. At a time when millions of people await the second coming of Jesus, and prophecies warn of wars, famine, pestilence, and other calamities that will afflict humanity at his return, this show asks: What would people really do if Jesus returned today? The play speaks out freely on some of the most critical issues of society, against the tyrannical designs of fundamentalism and the threat of the Orwellian nightmare. Followed by discussion. All are welcome.
