FINDING Messiah with Jennifer Rosner (ep. 35)

On this episode of the podcast, we are speaking with the Dr. Jennifer Rosner, about her book Finding Messiah: A Journey into the Jewishness of the Gospel. Dr. Rosner is a Jewish believer in Jesus Christ, and in this episode, she tells us her story, as well as the story of how these two deeply intertwined religious traditions have been torn apart, and what it might mean to weave them back together. Among the topics we discuss:

• Dr. Rosner's story about finding Jesus and rediscovering her Jewish roots
• The sad history of Jewish and Christian relations
• How we can remember the Jewishness of the New Testament
• Some of the ways that well-meaning Christians perpetuate negative stereotypes about Judaism
• How Judaism can help us resist dualism through rediscovering the embodied character of faith and worship
• Some of the more encouraging developments in Jewish-Christian scholarship
