Biblical scholar Julie Galambush, a former Baptist minister who converted to Judaism, reveals the diversity within first-century Judaism and how an intra-Jewish debate about what it means to be Jewish included the followers of Jesus as one Jewish sect among many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough other books have demonstrated the Jewishness of Jesus, none have grappled with the implications of the New Testament authors' identity as Jews. What would it mean to read this Christian scripture as it was meant to be read—as a collection of Jewish books? Through lively and accessible scholarship, Galambush identifies the distinctively Jewish goals of the New Testament authors and sheds new light on the common roots of modern Judaism and Christianity. \u003cem\u003eThe Reluctant Parting\u003c\/em\u003e breaks new ground by exposing the volatile historical backdrop that produced the New Testament, offering rich rewards for both Jews and Christians wanting a fuller understanding of their inherited tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Reluctant Parting: How the New Testament's Jewish Writers Created a Christian Book | Julie Galambush | Hardcover | 9780060596361 | Used: Very Good | Religion \u0026 Spirituality 1681377","offer_id":50800931275010,"sku":"1681377","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91yRqhGsLWL.jpg?v=1792404477","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/reluctant-parting-how-the-new-testaments-jewish-writers-created-a-christian-book","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
