Description
Résumé:Christian interpretations of the New Testament have often severed Jesus from his Jewish context, leading to theological distortions with lasting consequences. This article reexamines key aspects of Jesus’s identity as depicted in the New Testament—his messianic role, divinity, and incarnation—through the lens of Second Temple Judaism, highlighting these enduring influences on Christian theology. By situating the New Testament within its historical and religious milieu, this study challenges supersessionistic readings while demonstrating how greater attention to the Second Temple period can provide fresh insights for the interpretation of New Testament texts, adding nuance and depth to key theological themes found within the New Testament itself.
