JS Short Term Courses
JS offers several short-term courses that are academically rigorous and spiritually life-giving. They focus on Jesus (Yeshua), the Land of the Bible, and early Christianity and Judaism by experiencing the archaeology, geography, storied-history and the peoples of this Land. This contextual understanding can impact theology, ministry and everyday living. With Bible in hand, trips to Biblical sites are experienced with an eye toward tapping into these contexts for transformative learning. Each short-term course can be tailor made and typically includes both lectures and field trips throughout the Land.
We believe everyone going into ministry will benefit from studying in the Land of the Bible with a Jerusalem Seminary perspective. This perspective is Bible-based, Jesus-centered, Spirit-empowered, and Hebraic-oriented. Training like this is essential for rooting one’s faith in the Land and context which often leads to a more enriched and vibrant walk of faith.
Discovering Jesus in His Jewish Context 2025
May 19 – 30, 2025
“Discovering Jesus in His Jewish Context 2025” is a 10-day study tour focusing on the Jewish context and understanding of Jesus, and how this message became a message for the world. Using the modern Jewish context as a case study, we look at how the message of Jesus can be contextualized today to reach cultures and people groups around the world.
The program allows Bible teachers, pastors, mission workers, and theology students to experience and learn the land of the Bible. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the biblical text, the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, and the social and religious context during the time of Jesus and the early church. As part of the program, participants will meet local Messianic and Arab believers, gaining an understanding of outreach and ministry needs in the land and an inside perspective of the theological and political challenges that local believers face. Taught by Caspari Center and Jerusalem Seminary theological staff, along with a network of local expert lecturers, “Discovering Jesus in His Jewish Context” provides an invaluable experience for those studying and communicating the Word of God.
“Discovering Jesus in His Jewish Context” will be held in cooperation with Caspari Center. Although Jerusalem Seminary is not yet externally accredited, the course can be taken for internal credit. The “for credit” option requires an extra 500 NIS academic registration fee.
