A Common Book Read: Celebrating the Work of Professor Amy-Jill Levine

The Book: The Bible With and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently
by Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler

Please join us via livestream for a Common Book Read celebrating the work of Professor Amy-Jill Levine's tenure at Vanderbilt University. The editors of The Jewish Annotated New Testament show how and why Jews and Christians read many of the same Biblical texts - including passages from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Psalms - differently. Exploring and explaining these diverse perspectives, they reveal more clearly Scripture's beauty and power.

Esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and Christians, over time, understood those same texts.
