Beautiful Outlaw

For the past month we have been using the material by John Eldredge called "Beautiful Outlaw" to explore Jesus as we know Him through the gospels. John Eldredge helps us to put aside "religion" and come to grips with the complex personality of Jesus so that we can better draw close to Him and understand that he is fully human and fully God. This is a tension that is difficult for us to hold onto. In introducing the series, Eldredge uses a wonderful quote from the 19th century theologian George MacDonald "How have we learnt Christ? It ought to be a startling thought that perhaps we have learnt Him wrong". Each week we are using the video clips where John Eldredge brings some of the different facets of Jesus together with images that help us think more clearly about who He is.
