Daniel Boyarin is a professor of Talmudic Culture at U.C. Berkeley who argues that many Jews before the time of Jesus were expecting a divine-human Messiah who would suffer on behalf of his people. These ideas are not only found throughout the Hebrew Bible, but we also discover them in a variety of ancient Jewish texts written before the rise of Christianity. On this episode, Shane Rosenthal talks with Dr. Boyarin about these and many other views that he presents in his book, The Jewish Gospels: The Story of the Jewish Christ.SHOW NOTESFinding Christ in All The Scriptures — A New PDF resourceIn John 5:39, Jesus famously told the religious leaders of his day, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, but it is they that bear witness of me.” What are the implications of this verse, and how can it change the way we read and understand the entire Bible? That's the focus of this PDF resource by Shane Rosenthal which you can receive by making a gift of any size.Related BooksThe Jewish Gospels • Daniel BoyarinThe Jewish Annotated New Testament • (includes material from Boyarin)The Jewish Targums & John's Logos Theology • John RonningA Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith • Craig EvansA Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Gospels • Craig EvansThe Angel of the Lord • Doug Van Dorn & Matt ForemanThe Gospel According to Isaiah 53 • Darrell Bock & othersThe Moody Handbook of Messianic Prophecy • Rydelnik & BlumThe Life & Times of Jesus The Messiah • Alfred EdersheimProof of the Gospel • Eusebius of CaesareaRelated ArticlesFinding Christ in All The Scriptures • Shane RosenthalA New Way of Reading Scripture • Shane RosenthalA Dead Sea Scroll Hymn on the Suffering Servant • Shane RosenthalWhy Should We Believe The Bible? • Shane RosenthalProof of the Gospel • Quotes from Eusebius, Augustine & othersRelated AudioWhat Child Is This? • A Christmas Message by Shane RosenthalWere Jews Expecting a Divine Messiah? • WHI 1243 with Craig EvansA Suffering Messiah? • WHI-1564 with Craig EvansThe Angel of the Lord (Pt 1) • WHI 1566 with Foreman & Van DornThe Angel of the Lord (Pt 2) • WHI-1567 with Foreman & Van Dorn Music Heard on This EpisodeO Come O Come Emmanuel • Ardie Son, from his Album, DecemberWhat Child is This • Ardie Son, from his Album, DecemberCarol of the Bells • Will Taylor, from his Album, A Mandolin ChristmasWe Need Your Help!Consider supporting The Humble Skeptic podcast by making a YEAR-END gift!
