In this video Dr. Young discusses the need for Jesus’ followers to understand and appreciate Jesus’ Jewish heritage and the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith as they engage in interfaith dialogue. In this way Jews and Christians can truly appreciate the things we share in common and respect one another’s differences. True dialogue requires respect—this is our way of bearing witness to the people who share Jesus’ Jewish faith.
In this world, where we have too much hatred, too much vitriolic monologue, and not enough genuine dialogue and interaction and listening to one another, it’s a real challenge.
Dr. Brad H. Young is a founding member of the Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research, and a contributor to Jerusalem Perspective.
