What was the relationship between early Jewish law and early Christianity? What images of Jesus were preserved in the Talmud and for what purpose? What does the New Testament share in common with the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud and Midrash? Examine legal, literary and theological issues in the New Testament and discover how scholars use the New Testament to discover pre-rabbinic halakha, and how the rabbis of the Talmud reframe traditions about the historical Jesus.
