There were several points in the lecture this week that stood out to me as surprising, and things I have never considered.
Within the "Jesus & Church" section, the notion that Jesus' teachings "paint a picture of God's world, of what reality is really like," reminded me in a new way that our perception of the world is not full/complete because we are merely human.
-That for the Jews, the Kingdom of God meant that God would become their King, sitting in the temple.
-Jesus redefined what the Jews understood as the Kingdom of God.
-Dr. Bolger's description of "praying the hours" appealed to me and reminded me of the devoutness of my Muslim friends in their prayer lives.
