In this course, we will begin by exploring the gradual alienation of Jews and Christians from each other, and how that antagonism has slowly been reversed over the last century. We will explore specific sections of the Gospels where sensitivity to Jesus’ Jewish identity (and Semitic words) enables us to appreciate him in his humanity, in a more three-dimensional and culturally sensitive way-and to discover how the Jewishness of Jesus can (and should!) enrich Christian faith through a better understanding of the One whom Christians consider their Messiah and Lord.
