About this Event

Understanding Jesus Means Understanding Judaism

Join us to welcome Amy-Jill Levine, Ph.D., Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies and University Professor of New Testament Studies, Vanderbilt

Jesus and his first followers were Jews, thoroughly grounded in Jewish Scripture, Jewish ethics and theology, and Jewish hopes. To understand the New Testament is thus to recover part of Jewish history. How has knowledge of this common history become lost? How might understanding the New Testament in its historical context provide not only a new way of approaching Jewish-Christian relations but also a new way of celebrating our common roots? Our topics include the Our Father prayer, the Parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, Jesus’ comments on observing Torah (Jewish Law), and Jesus’ relations to women and to gentiles.

Dr. Levine will be joining us via Zoom. We are offering in-person attendance (which includes lunch) as well as on-line attendance, at a variety of prices.
