SUMMARY:Dr. John Bergsma's "Jesus and the Jubilee"
DESCRIPTION:Biblical scholar and author Dr. John Bergsma visits the CIC on Thursday\, July 10\, 2025 at 6:00 PM EDT for a presentation of his new book\, Jesus and the Jubilee: The Biblical Roots of the Year of God’s Favor. The talk will be offered both in-person and virtually through a livestream. \n2025 is a very special year. Why? It’s a Jubilee Holy Year of the Catholic Church. \nJubilee means joy—a joy that’s not fleeting\, a joy that lasts. In biblical times\, a jubilee was a time to rejoice. And this is still the case when the Church announces a jubilee. \nDr. Bergsma will walks us through his book\, which gets to the roots of the jubilee\, showing how this practice was established in order to preserve freedom\, family\, and the fullness of God’s blessing for the ancient Israelites. \nBut what the Israelites were promised by God—and experienced partially—was truly fulfilled by Jesus. As Jesus and the Jubilee reveals\, the Catholic Church is the perpetual jubilee\, offering redemption\, release from spiritual bondage\, return to our true home and family\, and rest in God’s fullness. \nPlease register to join us in-person or virtually\, and discover how the jubilee is the very center of Jesus’s mission and how we can fully participate in this ongoing “year of favor.” \nJuly 10th Schedule: \n\n5:40 pm EDT: Doors open for registrant check-in\n6:00 pm EDT: Dr. Bergsma’s “Jesus and the Jubilee” presentation (this portion will be offered both in-person and virtually via a livestream)\n7:00 pm EDT: Booksigning by Dr. Bergsma and a light happy hour\n8:00 pm EDT: Conclusion\n\nJesus and the Jubilee is available to purchase at the CIC bookstore. RSVP today!
