Jesus and the Ioudaioi
John’s Gospel is a difficult text for Jewish-Christian relations. Both deeply embedded in the Judaism of its day and a source of separation, its verses have been used to justify anti-Semitism. How should Christians read John with the Ioudaioi in mind? This book offers strategies.
Jesus, Paul and Matthew, Volume One

Jesus, Paul and Matthew, Volume Two
This book argues against the scholarly trend that contrasts Jesus, Paul, and Matthew. It reveals their shared vision: Jesus replaced a ‘politics of holiness’ with a ‘politics of compassion,’ forming a fictive family of God’s children based on our potential to absorb the divine.
