Jewish Ideas to Change the World
Religion & Spirituality:Judaism
A virtual event presentation by Dr. Adele Reinhartz
The event was co-sponsored by BMH-BJ
About the Event:
This talk will explore some of the issues about the portrayal of Jews and Judaism in the Fourth Gospel. In analyzing this very important topic, it is always necessary to have a dual focus, with one eye on what the Gospel itself says, and the other on what scholars have said. This talk will have three main parts:
1. Jesus as a Jew in the Gospel of John
2. Jesus and the “Jews” in the Gospel of John
3. Is John Jewish, Anti-Jewish, or both?
