This unique commentary helps
preachers see how knowledge of
first-century Judaism can help them
avoid incorporating misunderstandings
and stereotypes into their sermons on
the letters. Ronald Allen and Clark
Williamson explore insights from recent
Christian-Jewish dialogue, continuities
between Judaism and the theology of
Paul, and the Roman occupation to help
preachers understand the Jewish context
of the letters. As in their previous
book, Preaching the Gospels without
Blaming the Jews, they also suggest
how today’s preacher can deal with
issues or comments in the text that are
inappropriate or controversial in
today’s context.
