Listen Later

27 minutes

Thom welcomes Susan Perlman, Chief Partnership Officer and one of the founders of Jews for Jesus. In this episode, they discuss how The Chronological Life Application Study Bible, created in partnership with Jews for Jesus, helps connect our Christian faith to its Jewish roots.

The Chronological Life Application Study Bible has been out for a few years. How is this one different?

How did your team get involved in the update of this Bible?

Why do you feel it’s important for people who are reading the Bible to better understand the Jewish roots?

What are some of the most common misconceptions about the Bible’s relationship to Jewish culture?

Why do you think it’s important for pastors and church leaders to have an understanding of the Jewish heritage of the Bible?

Sometimes the church can seem anti-Jewish or readings of the Bible in churches can be anti-Jewish. Can you describe what this might look like and how can churches avoid it?

Episode Sponsor:

Eligible high schoolers can earn college credit online, the first class is free (not including books and course materials), and they get a significant discount ($166 per credit vs. $613 per credit) for every subsequent class. They can choose from more than 30 available courses. Here are just a few additional details not included on the flier:

This program is open to third-culture kids, homeschool students, private and public school students, etc.

Students can start during any eight-week session – summer, fall, spring, each semester has two sessions as indicated on the flier

The first-class free offer is limited. I do not yet know for how long, but we should market it as temporary for now.

Many students have successfully completed courses during their normal school year. Classes are asynchronous, so they can access course materials at their convenience.

Sometimes universities have similar programs and they make classes specific for high school students – HS students sitting with other HS students. In our program, participants sit in on real college courses, with actual college student peers. They get the real deal through our experience.
