This impact has often been negative due to troubling misconceptions of both the New Testament and Jewish writings contemporaneous with it. Misunderstandings have arisen from inaccurate information, religious traditions, and anti-Semitism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarren Carter and Ariel Feldman address and correct these misconceptions by engaging with the New Testament and major writings from Early Judaism, including the Apocrypha, Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Philo and Josephus. The authors emphasize various interactions among these traditions for the purpose of better interpreting the New Testament and, importantly, avoiding anti-Jewish bias.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal supplemental textbook for students of the New Testament as well as interested clergy and laity. The text is straightforward and readable, and unlike other books on the topic, it does not assume prior knowledge of Early Judaism or of New Testament engagement with it. Each chapter recognizes troubling misunderstandings that people often have about the interactions between Early Judaism and the New Testament and includes discussion prompts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540968111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232","brand":"Warren Carter, Ariel Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334066536629,"sku":"9781540968111","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a1581de2-68de-4e12-ba5a-f2e6d35333d6.jpg?v=1752583519","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/early-judaism-and-the-new-testament-troubling-misunderstandings-9781540968111","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
