Donald Schmidt has had a love affair with the Bible for many years. Rather than something to be worshipped, he sees it as an amazing tool and way to learn more about God and ourselves. He holds MDiv and DMin degrees, as well as undergraduate degrees in theology and Jewish studies. He has been in active ministry in a variety of churches in both Canada and the USA for almost 40 years and, in his spare time, likes to work with wool - knitting, spinning, and weaving.

An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion. - John Steinbeck, East of Eden The resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the most important event for Christians, yet the events that led up to it are almost as important. According to all the biblical sources and a wide variety of non-biblical texts, Jesus was put to death because the message he brought threatened the powerful of his era.

Jesus' message was directly counter to the values that the government promoted. For them, there was no question but that Jesus had to be extinguished… Similarly, the religious powers found their established order threatened. Jesus' theme of God's involvement in the world on behalf of the marginalized (specifically, foreigners, women, tax collectors, children, etc.) was a major challenge to the religious order of the day.
