Paul: Profile of a First-Century Jew \\ with Dr. Ari Mermelstein
We sat down to chat with Dr. Ari Mermelstein, professor of Bible and Second Temple Judaism at Yeshiva University. In this podcast, we discuss how a mistaken interpretation of Paul's writings that negated the notion of divine grace in Judaism led to a misunderstanding that has lasted for centuries. We discuss how reading Paul in his Jewish context has important ramifications for present-day Jewish-Christian dialogue.
