Jewish-Christian Relations2

ONE FOR ISRAEL | Bible College Jewish – Christian Relations By Icb-Israel on January 7, 2018 REGISTER ONLINE Online Course Jewish – Christian Relations This course will survey the history of the Jewish people and Judaism in comparison with the history of Christianity. Instead of seeing Jesus and Judaism through the lens of later history, we will study them both in their original historical context. Judaism and Christianity each have their own set of values, rules and approaches to God. Specifically, they each have a different understanding of the concept of Messiah. These issues have been debated throughout the centuries, but the modern discussion has added a new perspective. The recognition of the Jewish identity of Jesus has influenced both Jewish and Christian scholarship, leading to a new chapter in the debate. Free Sample Lecture About the Course The history of the Jewish people goes all the way back to Abraham, but after the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 CE, something new emerged. With no temple to offer sacrifices, along with the growing movement of Jesus followers presenting an increasing challenge, Judaism had to reinvent itself. Both Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity have their roots in Second Temple Judaism, but evolved in reaction to one another, to some extent even defining themselves by their differences. By the Middle Ages, they had become two entirely separate groups that seemed to have nothing in common. It is a fascinating, but often sad history. Over time almost all connection between Judaism and Christianity was lost. Only in relatively recent years has there been an understanding of the commonalities between the two, and the importance of understanding each group in its original context. During the course we will also focus on the Jewish roots of Jesus. Instead of seeing Jesus and Judaism through the lens of later history, we will study them both in their original historical context.
