Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-09 00:00:00 T I Jackson Marilyn (one of my professors) presents her driving arguments for reading the Newer Testament without imposing Anti-Jewish sentiment. She argues that "Christianity" did not exist as a separate entity from Judaism in the first century, which is when the Newer Testament texts were written, which indicates that elements that seem "Anti-Jewish" in the NT are actually within inter-Jewish conflicts. She stresses the importance of recognizing the extreme diversity that existed within Judaism in the first century, not unlike most religious traditions today.
