About this episode

Jonathan Bernis and Jack Zimmerman discuss the Jewish context of the New Testament and its significance for understanding the Bible.

Rabbis Jonathan Bernis and Jack Zimmerman talk about the uniquely Jewish Tree of Life Version of the Bible. The Old and New Testaments are one continuous communication from God to mankind, written by Jews in a Jewish cultural and spiritual context. Many Christians miss out on the richness and depth of the New Testament because they haven’t been taught the Jewish framework on which it is built. Join Jonathan and Jack as they share how you can access this untapped spiritual context for exciting insights and a better understanding of the Bible as a whole.
