Where did Jesus fit within the world of 1st-century Judaism? How did what we now know as “Judaism” and “Christianity” emerge from the ancient world? In this forum, we look at the history of Judaism and Christianity—and what it means for our religious traditions today.

“‘Love is patient, love is kind...‘ Since we only hear it at weddings, we might forget that St. Paul didn’t actually write that letter to a bride and groom. He wrote it to the Corinthian church. He wasn’t giving instructions on how to live together in wedded bliss. He was giving instructions on how to live together as a parish, and that’s worth thinking about, maybe once every three years, or maybe before you attend an Annual Meeting.”

“Jesus and his disciples would have known they had less than a decade left of life, if that. And still, their God-given mission was to bring justice to the nations. Now imagine if we set our sights that high. Forget, ‘we would like to grow as a parish.’ Imagine if our mission was to bring justice to the nations, in less than ten years.”
