Jewish Books in Christian Bibles with Dr. Ely Levine
Ancient Jewish literature was quite varied. What Jews decided to preserve was just a small portion; Christians preserved many, many Jewish texts. Come read through some of these Jewish texts, including the Gospels, Jubilees, and Maccabees. See what other ideas Jews had that may not have been preserved
in mainstream Judaism, other ideas that seemed to find around about way into normative Judaism, and still other Jewish ideas that ended up being used against Jews.
