Jewish Themes in the New Testament is an examination of what the New Testament teaches about the Jewish people in the era of the New Covenant. The core of that teaching is an affirmation of God's continued faithfulness to them. In a day when opinions regarding the Jewish people are increasingly polarised as some stress their position centre-stage and others consign them to the dustbin of history, this book seeks to demonstrate from the New Testament that both extremes are wrong. This unique book considers the theological issues, but it is concerned for much more; it is about Jewish people and the Jews as a people, as the New Testament sees them. 'Paul Morris has given us a robust introduction to a christian "theology of Israel." He underscores the on-going place of Israel in the plan (and the heart!) of God while simultaneously exploring the many facets of the Jewish response(s) to the gospel. Plunge in and you will surely sharpen your own thinking about Israel and the gospel!' Richard A. Robinson, Senior Researcher, Jews for Jesus, San Francisco, CA

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    To me this book though interesting fails to really live up to its title. I was expecting something that would elaborate on the Jewish themes that are there in the New Testament and draw them out so that we as Christians could come to a better understanding of what it actually was that these themes represented to Christ and His followers, and how this can open up the Bible and our faith. That said the blurb on the back of the book does talk instead of this book being about what the New Testament taught about "Jewish People in the era of the New Covenant" - and perhaps this then should have been the title, because there is a lot of this in it, including an involved look at understanding how differences may have evolved and developed between Pauline Christian churches and the Jewish churches. For me though this book helps demonstrate how differential Pauline theology often is from the Jewish theology that could have developed and is there - so on the whole I would say this book is not really about Jewish themes in the New Testament but rather about looking at how the division arose and became so entrenched as to become anti-semitic between the Christian and Jewish faiths. I'm not sure I agree with all Morris has to say in this book, in fact I have real problems with some of it because despite calling it Jewish Themes in the New Testament what we actually have to my mind is a very Christo-centric analysis of Pauline themes on Jewish themes. Also it is very much a book that seems aimed at conversion, even though we get a very long and involved section on Pre-Election to explain why Jews are so resistant to conversion, but yet we should still try ... for the remnant if nothing else it seems. However if you are interested in understanding more how the divisions evolved and are still evolving then this is an interesting book to read.
