Tonight's class begins a series on "Becoming Christian". Luke 2:1-5 gives us a glimpse of the cultures that would help shape the faith - Jews, Greeks, and Romans. We learned a little more about these cultures and their relationship with Palestine. When the Temple is destroyed in 70 AD, Jews and Christians are forced out into those cultures. This sets up the next few lessons where we will consider how the Christians dealt with their new reality.
