Studies in Early Judaisms

Recently, scholars have moved away from using the rabbinic literature such as the Talmud and Mishnah, to inform our understanding of the New Testament. This shift has come from a more honest perspective on the rabbinic work. This series surveys the historical and theological landscape of the first century to understand why the rabbinical work should not be read back into the Gospels.

This teaching challenges the common teaching by non-believing Judaisms and Messianics alike that the rabbinical literature can be read back into the first century and that it influenced the Apostles and the teachings of Yeshua.

This six part lecture series is presented in both video and audio and is taught by teachers Tim Hegg and Rob Vanhoff.
