Preaching Biblical Texts

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This new volume by two leading figures in the Jewish-Christian dialogue is just what the doctor ordered. . . . These Jewish and Christian scholars and pastoral leaders provide us with excellent examples of how to communicate the new vision of Jewish-Christian understanding through the biblical word. Preaching Biblical Texts meets a long-standing need in a masterful way.”

The Pharisees

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Who hasn’t heard a homily denouncing the Pharisees as the archenemies of Jesus? This volume breaks open the complexity of the Pharisaic Movement and the stereotypical understanding that Christians have had of it, and it demonstrates the Pharisaic themes that positively influenced Jesus’s teachings. The inclusion of Pope Francis’s address on the Pharisees is a plus. The book is a must-read for anyone who preaches from the New Testament.”
