What is Judeophobia? And how does this term relate to the New Testament?

In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, Ryan Lambert sits down with Dr. Meredith Warren, co-editor of Judeophobia and the New Testament, for an important and thought-provoking conversation about how New Testament texts have been interpreted in ways that contributed to harmful ideas about Jews and Judaism.

Together, they explore:

What the term “Judeophobia” means
How certain New Testament passages have been used in anti-Jewish ways
The Gospel of John and difficult texts like John 8:44
Paul, Christian anti-Judaism, and problematic interpretations of Paul’s letters
Why “Pharisee” became a spiritual insult in Christian culture
How Judeophobia extends beyond biblical interpretation into art, imagery, and Christian imagination
What pastors, teachers, and everyday readers can do to engage these texts more responsibly today

This conversation is honest, challenging, and deeply relevant for anyone who cares about how Jews and Christians understand the Bible—and each other.
