A Keener Understanding of the Bible: The Jewish Context for the Sermon on the Mount and the Book of Matthew


In May 2020, Chosen People Ministries and The Feinberg Center hosted a 4-session webinar with Craig Keener called “A Keener Understanding of the Bible: Seeing the New Testament Through Jewish Eyes.”

From the email promotion:

Whether you are familiar with Dr. Craig Keener or this is your first introduction to his work, we are delighted to announce an upcoming Bible webinar with the professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.

Well-known for his research on the Jewish and Greco-Roman context of the New Testament, Dr. Keener will join us for a two-day online seminar to teach us more about the Jewish context of key books and passages of the Bible. It will be a wonderful teaching series that you will not want to miss!

Here is the first session, entitled “The Jewish Context for the Sermon on the Mount and the Book of Matthew.”
