Jewish and Christian Origins: New Directions in Scholarship by Azzan Yadin

Recent scholarship, with its emphasis on the varieties of Judaism and the relationship between the early church and Judaism, suggests that the historical reality was more complex.

This lecture was delivered on Tuesday, February 12, 2008.
