You Tube Theology

What happens when you get a self-dubbed “yankee Jewish feminist” talking about Jesus?

Turns out, you get a fascinating conversation leaving folks of all faiths and worldviews with much to think about.

Amy-Jill Levine is a brilliant professor of New Testament, and, perhaps surprisingly, a practicing Jew. In this episode, she uses her knowledge of Jewish culture to highlight common mis-readings of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’s stance on societal and gender norms, and how “Christian fragility” can impede one’s ability to address religious and social questions honestly.
