YouTube description

Luke Timothy Johnson of the Candler School of Theology gives a talk entitled "Jesus among the Philosophers: Ancient Conceptions of Happiness" (Jan. 30, 2013). Professor Johnson's research concerns the literary, moral, and religious dimensions of the New Testament, including the Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts of early Christianity (particularly moral discourse), Luke-Acts, the Pastoral Letters, and the Letter of James. The Emory Williams Lecture Series in the Liberal Arts has been made possible by a generous gift from Mr. Emory Williams (Emory College '32 and Trustee Emeritus, Emory University).
