AJ Levine on the Importance of Jesus in a Jewish Context

This special episode of the Engage Church Network Podcast features a thought-provoking conversation with Professor Amy-Jill (AJ) Levine, world-renowned scholar, author, and teacher of New Testament and Jewish Studies.

In this timely episode, Professor Levine joins Pastor Mike Glenn to address common mistakes pastors make in preaching, particularly the tendency to take Jesus out of His Jewish context. With humor, clarity, and depth, she reminds us that Jesus always looks good, but to understand Him fully, we must also understand the Jewish world that shaped Him.

Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or a lifelong student of Scripture, this conversation will challenge the way you approach the Gospels and inspire you to preach and teach with greater historical awareness and cultural sensitivity.
