12. John 7 - Was Jesus a Jew?

Episode 12: Was Jesus a Jew?

Aug 23, 2021 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall 

In John’s gospel, there’s one group of people that keeps popping up. And we find them in the very first verse of Chapter 7. which says “the Jews” were seeking to kill Jesus. But wasn’t Jesus a Jew? Well… in one sense He was certainly Jewish… but according to the gospels, He definitely didn’t fit into this one particular group. And today, we’ll attempt to unpack the gospel's complicated category known as “the Jews”.
