Book excerpt: For centuries the evangelist Luke has been seen as the only non-Jewish author of the New Testament writing for a non-Jewish Christian public. Reading his gospel and the Acts as a form of midrash literature shows however that Luke was more probably a Greek speaking Jew who wrote his books with a Jewish message for a Jewish public.

Book Synopsis The Jews in Luke-Acts by : Jack T. Sanders
Download or read book The Jews in Luke-Acts written by Jack T. Sanders and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the hostile portrayal of the Jews in Luke-Acts and points to its influence in the spread of anti-Jewish sentiment among Christians. Examines Luke's portrayal of various groups: Jewish leaders, the Jewish people, the Pharisees, and the outcasts and other peripheral elements in Jewish society. Compares Luke's virulent Jew-hatred with the milder attitude of other New Testament writers (e.g. Matthew, John, Paul). Rejects the view that the reason for Luke's hatred was Jewish persecution of Christianity; rather, it was Luke's identity problem as a Gentile Christian plagued by the opposition of both Jews and Jewish Christians to Gentile Christianity.
Book Synopsis Neither Jew nor Greek by : James D. G. Dunn
Download or read book Neither Jew nor Greek written by James D. G. Dunn and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings James Dunns magisterial Christianity in the Making trilogy to a close.Neither Jew nor Greek covers the period following the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 c.e. and running through the second century, when the still-new Jesus movement firmed up its distinctive identity markers and the structures on which it would establish its growing appeal in the following decades and centuries. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels and such apostolic fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus. Comprehensively covering an important, complex era in early Christianity that is often overlooked,Neither Jew nor Greek is a landmark contribution to the field.
Download or read book Besorah written by Mark S. Kinzer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospel of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth has healed countless lives over the centuries, but the gospel itself has been wounded through neglect of one of its main components. The books of Luke and Acts reveal that the death and resurrection of Jesus are linked inextricably to the destruction and promised restoration of Jerusalem, the city that personifies the Jewish people as a whole. To highlight this expanded understanding of the gospel, Mark Kinzer and Russ Resnik unpack the Hebrew term for gospel, besorah, as a prophetic message of salvation for Israel and all nations. In Luke's besorah, the death and resurrection of the Messiah are a sign of the coming judgment and restoration of Jerusalem and the Jewish people--a restoration that brings with it the renewal of all creation. This prophetic dimension of the besorah is a key to healing the fractured gospel and restoring its power amidst the strife and tumult of the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Torah Praxis after 70 CE by : Isaac Wilk Oliver
Download or read book Torah Praxis after 70 CE written by Isaac Wilk Oliver and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Torah Praxis after 70 CE, Oliver challenges conventional views of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles. He reads the works not only against their Jewish “background” but also as early Jewish literature. In doing so, he questions the traditional classification of Luke-Acts as a “Greek” or Gentile-Christian text. To support his assertions, Dr. Oliver’s literary-historical investigation explores the question of Torah praxis in each book, citing evidence that suggests several ritual Jewish practices remained fixtures in the Jesus movement and that Jewish followers of Jesus played key roles in forming the ekklesia well into the first century CE.

Book Synopsis Anti-Judaism in the New Testament by : Gerald Sigal
Download or read book Anti-Judaism in the New Testament written by Gerald Sigal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a systematic critique of the anti-Jewishness of the New Testament. Its primary purpose is to delineate what the New Testament authors intended to convey to their respective audiences concerning the Jewish people. That is, this volume is concerned with the initial meaning intended by the New Testament authors and how this intended meaning directly and with forethought contributed to Christian anti-Judaic1 thought and action. We will investigate how and why the New Testament authors created this anti-Judaic climate. Analysis of the Gospel stories demonstrates that anti-Judaism is woven into the fabric of a significant part of the New Testament narrative. This narrative has provoked bitter condemnation and persecution of Jews. The Jewish people were cast in the role of a dark satanic force as a systematic denigration and demonization of the Jews took place. It is to its harsh and bitter polemic against the entire Jewish people that one must ascribe the accusations of the Jews being Christ-killers and children of Satan and the later embellishments of Jews as host desecrators, ritual murders, and well-poisoners. Post-New Testament developments of Christian anti-Judaism are not central to this study. In pursuing our investigation we will make a distinction between what was originally intended by the New Testament authors and the usage made of their works to meet the anti-Judaic needs of the subsequent church. Conclusions reached by later interpreters that have often been attributed to the authors of the Gospels are not our primary concern. It is not a question of how, or to what extent, the New Testament passages concerning Jews and Judaism were misused or misread in later centuries, but of what they were meant to mean in the first place. Thus, our focus will be on what the authors meant to convey to their respective contemporary audiences about the Jews. What would the New Testament’s audience have understood from the information its various authors provided? What meaning would a reader derive from a particular text? Is the New Testament anti-Jewish or is it merely an accurate report of events as they took place? Answers can only come through an examination of the relevant passages in their specific literary contexts, as well as in the context of the struggles, aspirations, and theologies of the early church. Special attention must be paid to the relationship between the church and the Roman authorities, on the one hand, and the synagogue, on the other hand, at the time the various books of the New Testament were written and to polemics within the early church community. The New Testament was not written solely to condemn the Jews. But, in the process of developing the several story lines that evolved into the four respective canonical Gospels, the early church adopted a decidedly anti-Judaic stance. Consequently, in its final form, instances of anti-Judaic sentiment are found in much of the New Testament, the Gospels in particular. This animosity has to do as much with politics as with theological doctrine, relations with the Roman imperial authorities as with displacing Jews and Judaism. If pre-Gospel traditions already included anti-Judaic elements, they were now systematically exploited. There was a growing need to explain why Israel, God’s chosen people, had rejected Jesus and the message of his disciples. How could this be reconciled with God’s will? In presenting Jesus as the Messiah and Christianity as superseding Judaism, Paul and the authors of the Gospels and Acts, in particular, indict the Jewish people for the death of Jesus and spread antipathy of Jews and Judaism as part of a program to achieve Christian ascendancy. The historicized core myths that provide the basis for the New Testament missionary program were shaped and reshaped to show that the church possessed full authenticity and validity contra Jews and Judaism. The New Testament auth
