The Christian Story and the Jewish People

The “Christian Story” and the Jewish People Lecture Notes/Questions 

Reading: Boys, 87-174

Focus of the class:  
  • How does the formulation of the "Christian story" contribute to a negative image of Judaism and the Jewish People?
  • How does modern biblical scholarship help faithful Christians rethink their Christian story in order to develop a renewed and revised image?

Note the questions on p. 88.  How can they be answered by subsequent readings?

  • c.6 look at the complexity of the physical and intellectual world of Jesus.
  • c.7 look at Jesus within the context of Temple practice and purity. How can we recontextualize this?
  • c.8-9- What models to we have for the parting of the ways?
