By Yitzhak Magen

Purity in Second Temple times
By Yitzhak Magen
046 In the decades before the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 C.E., Jews gave a new and heightened emphasis to ritual purity. In fact, purity laws may have been interpreted more strictly at this time than at any point before—...

By Helmut Koester

The Passion Narratives and the Roots of Anti-Judasim

The difference in date between Passover and Easter is only the external sign of a division between Jews and Christians that has resulted in the darkest chapters of Christian history.
By Helmut Koester

Luke’s Holy Land and Jesus’ Company

By Helmut Koester
Bible Review, June 1992

Mark and the Life—and Death—of Jesus

For Mark, belief in Jesus as the powerful messianic teacher and worker of miracles was not the point. Jesus is ultimately something very different.
By Helmut Koester

The Second Coming Demythologized

If we who have committed ourselves to Jesus expect that we will be judged worthy of the kingdom, we will be in for a big surprise.
By Helmut Koester
Bible Review, October 1996

Rediscovering the Message of Lent

Often, Lent means very little. Modern American Christianity tends to leap from a cross of ashes borne on Ash Wednesday right into the glory of Easter.
By Helmut Koester
Bible Review, February 1997
