Season 1: Episode 14
Recognizing the Jewishness of Jesus
Date Aired: 02/14/2023
It’s easy to read the New Testament and think that Jesus’s ministry and message (“grace, forgiveness, love”) was somehow in stark opposition to Judaism (“the law, justice, purity”). In today’s episode, guest Amy-Jill Levine explains how Jesus’s teachings, actions, and miracles fit squarely within first-century Jewish beliefs and practice and why understanding Jesus’s Jewishness is imperative for healing the centuries-old rift between Jews and Christians.
