Interpretation Matters
This week we listen to a portion of a Roundtable Talk with Dr. Marc Zvi Brettler and Dr. Amy-Jill Levine about their book Reading the Bible(s) With and Without Jesus. Language matters. The cultural associations with words matter. So with so much interpretation happening, which is more important, the biblical text or the interpretations of the text?
IBC's Roundtable Talks are hosted by Dr. Yeshaya Gruber. They provide an opportunity to connect with leading writers and scholars around the world. The full conversation with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine and Dr. Marc Zvi Brettler covers issues such as "The Jewishness of the New Testament," "The Roll of Context in Interpretation," "Religious and Scholarly Approach," and "The Son of Man and Jewish-Christian Relations."
