A Jewish Look at How Jesus Saw the World”
Organized by Charleston Interreligious Council, hosted at KKBE.

“Jesus was a visual thinker. As he makes this argument, Rosen invites readers to use their imagination to explore how Jesus saw, what he saw, and why it is important today. Rosen brings a fresh lens to the Gospels, informed by his experience as an art curator and scholar, as well as his life as a practicing Jew married to an Episcopal priest. As Rosen applies Jesus’s unique ways of seeing the world to key challenges facing society today, he taps a surprising trove of examples drawn from art, current events, and popular culture. At the core of Jesus’s ministry, Rosen finds, is a call to look at our world—especially those who are most disadvantaged—with radical empathy.”
