What if most of the things you've been taught about the Pharisees, the Law, and the Jewish context of Jesus and Paul are completely backwards?This week, we're honored to learn from Amy-Jill Levine, one of the world's leading New Testament scholars and a Jewish expert on the historical world of Jesus. We tackle some of Christianity's biggest misconceptions like:· Did Jesus really liberate women from a life of no agency? · Were the Pharisees actually the villains we've made them out to be? · Is Paul trading a works-based Judaism for grace-filled Christianity, or have Christians misunderstood him for centuries? We also explore supersessionism, Christian treatment of Jewish people, what it means for Jesus to fulfill Old Testament scriptures, and what respectful Christian-Jewish dialogue should actually look like. (Hint: It does not look like having Passover seders in church.)This is one of the most challenging, insightful, and important conversations we've ever had. If you’ve been wanting a better understanding of Paul, Jesus, or even just the New Testament, this episode is a must listen!Website: TheBibleUncut.com (show notes available in the blog section)Donate: TheBibleUncut.com/support-usDiscord: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEmail: cconn@thebibleuncut.comFacebook: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredInstagram: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredTikTok: @BibleUncutandUnfilteredYouTube: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEditor: Janna Connor
