{"product_id":"9798889836261","title":"Challenging Anti-Judaism in the Revised Common Lectionary","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristian preaching too easily tilts toward anti-Judaism. Given that many Christians learn about Jews and Judaism primarily through sermons, it is imperative that preachers represent Judaism with care, accuracy, and theological honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis commentary on selected texts in the Revised Common Lectionary helps preachers navigate passages that are easily read in an anti-Jewish manner--not by providing scripts, but by modeling the kind of careful, cross-disciplinary conversation that responsible preaching demands. Covering texts from Years A, B, and C and from all seasons of the church year, it brings three distinct theological voices into genuine dialogue: Ellen Charry, reading the texts afresh from her position as a Christian Jew equally critical of both traditions; Bruce Chilton, situating each passage within its historical and Jewish context and drawing on decades of comparative scholarship; and Geoffrey Ready, offering homiletical guidance grounded in Orthodox Christian theology and the \"within Judaism\" scholarship of recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe books animating conviction is that anti-Judaism in Christian preaching is not a minor correctable error but a theological problem at the heart of the tradition--one with a long history running from the New Testament canon itself through the formation of the lectionary. At the same time, the past six decades of Jewish-Christian dialogue, biblical scholarship, and liturgical reform have opened new possibilities. This commentary puts those possibilities to work at the place where they are most needed and least addressed: the Sunday pulpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"AUGSBURG FORTRESS PUBLISHERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67729399087156,"sku":"9798889836261","price":95.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9798889836261.jpg?v=1792099011","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9798889836261","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
