Three seasoned experts in the field of Jewish-Christian relations teach this course: Dr. Susan Michael, Dr. Marvin Wilson, and Dr. Brad Young. Together they provide a unique, in-depth understanding of the Jewish context of Jesus and the early church, an overview of the history of Jewish-Christian relations, and the current state of this critical relationship.
