The scriptural passage read tomorrow in most of the liturgical - TopicsExpress



          

The scriptural passage read tomorrow in most of the liturgical churches tomorrow is, John 20:19-31, which shares that Jesus male followers were holed-up in a room and they locked the door for fear of the Jews. Historical accuracy is an issue, as of course all the rival groups struggling to survive in Jesus world were Jewish movements, including the group in the upper room. Texts like this one are so familiar that words that were twisted to bolster anti-semitism goes unnoticed. Except, of course, when it leads to genocide against Jews. Churches have been slow to address the issue of Christian anti-Jewish sentiment. Heres a book can help: (note: the picture was chosen to help convey Jesus Jewishness - yes, he looks too white in it. Focus on the content of the author, not the pic. Thanks.) patheos/blogs/rogerwolsey/2013/12/the-jew-named-jesus-a-review/
