Opis

This unique commentary helps

preachers see how knowledge of

first-century Judaism can help them

avoid incorporating misunderstandings

and stereotypes into their sermons on

the letters. Ronald Allen and Clark

Williamson explore insights from recent

Christian-Jewish dialogue, continuities

between Judaism and the theology of

Paul, and the Roman occupation to help

preachers understand the Jewish context

of the letters. As in their previous

book, Preaching the Gospels without

Blaming the Jews, they also suggest

how today's preacher can deal with

issues or comments in the text that are

inappropriate or controversial in

today's context.
