Nijay K.Gupta’s lecture, “People of Faith: Why the First Christians Called Themselves ‘Believers,'” will focus on why followers of Jesus adopted the label “believers†in reference to their identity, and even referred to their religion as “the faith.†What significance did this pose for them? Was it primarily about “beliefs,†or something more? Gupta will explore these important historical questions and also address the relevance this discussion has for Christian identity today.
