In this episode, Mike chats with Jason Hensley about his book 'One Family' and the importance of recognizing the Jewish roots of Christianity. They begin by discussing the historical setting of first-century Judaism, discussing the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Essenes. Jason underscores the importance of viewing Jesus within his Jewish context, highlighting how his teachings align with Pharisaic teachings. He describes Jesus as a “reformer working on the inside”.
Mike and Jason examine the impact of the temple's destruction in 70 CE on the Jewish religious leadership and Christian followers. Finally, Jason shares his hope that readers will recognize the deep connections between biblical Christianity and Judaism, urging them to stand against anti-Semitism.
