The Context of Jesus Christ and His Followers

Dramatic Change in Perspective

"One of the biggest changes that’s happened in the scholarly world since I was introduced to it back in the 1970’s is the way that Judaism . . . is seen as the context of Christianity rather than as its contrast.” 44:18

Paula Fredriksen, "Sin: The Early History of the Idea: Lecture 1: God, Blood, and the Temple" October 9, 2007 -- Spencer Trask Lecture, cosponsored by Princeton University Press.
