About This Course

As Christians, knowing our faith’s history began in the Jewish tradition and religion, we may wonder, “How has Christianity today wandered so far from Judaism?” and “What does it look like to forge a way forward between these two religions that have been in opposition for so long?” This Judaism, Jesus & Christianity course endeavors to answer these questions by journeying into the Jewishness of Jesus, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, and the implications that these ideas have for our current-day faith practices. Jennifer Rosner has walked and continues to walk on this journey herself, so let her guide you in your personal journey to wrestle with and work through your own faith journey by looking at Scripture through a Jewish lens.
