  • Summary

  • In this bonus podcast, we explore the often misunderstood relationship between Jesus and the Pharisees. While the Pharisees are frequently seen as the “villains” of the New Testament, there is much more nuance to their interactions with Jesus. We’ll discuss the different groups present in Jesus’ time, including the Sadducees, Zealots, and Essenes, and how Jesus’ teachings most closely aligned with the Pharisees, despite some important differences.

    We’ll learn about the Pharisees’ emphasis on study, interpretation of the Torah, and their innovative approach to making religious practices accessible to the common people. We’ll also discuss why Jesus sometimes critiqued certain Pharisees while maintaining respect for their overall tradition. Understanding this relationship helps us better appreciate both Jesus’ teachings and our Jewish neighbors today.
