Send us Fan Mail Do Jews have to be “out” for Christians to be “in”? It’s a question that sits at the heart of how many people have understood the Apostle Paul—and it has shaped centuries of Christian attitudes toward Jews and Judaism. In this episode, we take a fresh look at Romans, focusing on Paul’s olive tree imagery in chapter 11. Did Paul really believe that Jews who do not believe in Jesus were removed from God’s covenants? Or is that a reading shaped more by later theological assum...

But what if that assumption is misplaced?

2nd Maccabees and Paul: Did He Celebrate Hanukkah?

As more Christians become interested in the Jewish roots of their faith and in learning about Jewish holidays, this question is being asked more often. And it’s an important one. Exploring it helps us step more fully into the world of Jewish life in the time of both Jesus and Paul. Paul never mentions Hanukkah directly in his letters, and the festival doesn’t appear in the book of Acts. But that silence doesn’t tell the whole story. I...

In this episode of Journey with the Jewish Paul, Ryan breaks down the difference between undisputed and disputed Pauline letters, explains why Hebrews is almost certainly not written by Paul, and shows how scribes (or “secretaries”) shaped...
