We take a closer look at chapter 11 in the letter to the Romans, where Paul is talking about the relationship between Israelites and gentiles, and in particular how the gentile believers should relate to the Jews who did not accept Jesus as the Messiah. By inference, it should give us something to say about how we as Orthodox Christians should be relating to Rabbinic Jews today. If we are to believe Paul, we are in the same eschatological moment, and the same framework should apply.

In this episode, Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri will be looking at different translations of the Bible, and the history behind those translations, when certain words were added and new meanings layered in. Our English translations are thoroughly infected by the Old Perspective that we discussed last time, and when we return to the Greek, in light of the Paul within Judaism Perspective, the complexion of the themes and metaphors are completely changed and make a whole lot more sense!
