The divinity of our Messiah is foundational to our faith. Yeshua is both fully God and fully man, at the same time. He is God incarnate, and "in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form" (Colossians 2:9). In this course, we will investigate the biblical basis for our belief in Yeshua's simultaneous humanity and divinity and discuss the theological and apologetics implications of this glorious truth. This will include overviews of the early church's teachings on Yeshua's divinity, evidence of early Jewish belief in the divinity of Messiah, and a detailed handling of contemporary Jewish objections to Yeshua's divinity. This will involve an introduction to Maimonidean and Kabbalistic thought, as well as apologetic engagement with each. Students who take this course will come away with a stronger foundation for their beliefs and an increased ability to articulate their faith and communicate it to Jewish people who see Yeshua's divinity as a roadblock.
