In this class on Luke 2:40-52, we cover Jesus' later childhood, including some of the myths of later spurious writings; the circumstances of Jesus' discussions with teachers at the temple at age 12; the educational system of Galilee and what was expected of Jewish boys; the Jewish teaching method found in the Gospels of asking questions; and how Jesus likely learned of His unique identity as the Son of God.
