Description: Jewish Foundations of the New Testament is a scholarly exploration of the deep-rooted connections between Judaism and early Christianity. The author delves into the historical, cultural, and theological intersections between the two faiths, addressing the complex relationship that has shaped Christian theology and biblical interpretation over centuries.

The book offers strategies to avoid anti-Jewish readings of the New Testament, thereby fostering improved Jewish-Christian relations. It presents thirty New Testament passages that have historically and adversely influenced Jewish-Christian relations. The book focuses on four key challenges that contribute to anti-Jewish bias: the portrayal of Pharisees, the term "Jews" in the Gospel of John, the role of the Law in Pauline theology, and the notion of the "New Covenant" in the Epistle to the Hebrews.

The book serves as a resource for scholars, clergy, and lay readers who wish to approach the New Testament with sensitivity toward the Jewish tradition. It encourages an interpretive shift that recognizes the Jewish roots of Christianity and aims to foster a more respectful and constructive engagement with the biblical texts.
