JEWISH FOUNDATIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

Jewish Foundations of the New Testament offers a scholarly examination of the Jewish roots of early Christianity, focusing on the historical, cultural, and theological ties between Judaism and the New Testament. Jesper Svartvik addresses common interpretations that have fueled anti-Jewish sentiments, advocating for a more sensitive approach to biblical texts. By analyzing thirty New Testament passages that have strained Jewish-Christian relations, he encourages readers to reject supersessionism and embrace the Jewish context of Christianity. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, clergy, and lay readers committed to fostering respectful Jewish-Christian engagement.
