Amy-Jill Levine joins us THIS Sunday: December 18th

NEW TESTAMENT SCHOLAR, AMY-JILL LEVINE, BRINGS JEWISH WISDOM TO THE NEW TESTAMENT:  Editor of the First Jewish Annotated New Testament Speaks at First Church, December 18, 2011

Summary: Although major New Testament figures – Jesus and Paul, Peter and James, Jesus' mother Mary and Mary Magdalene – were Jews, living in a culture steeped in Jewish history, beliefs, and practices, there has never been an edition of the New Testament that addresses its Jewish background and the culture from which it grew – until now. In The Jewish Annotated New Testament, leading experts under the general editorship of Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler put these writings back into the context of their original authors and audience and explain why this matters.
