Hi everybody, I'm Dr. Trevan Hatch.
In this podcast, I explore the Jewish context of the New Testament (especially the Gospels) and the Jesus traditions. I look at the Jewish elements in Jesus' teachings, how the authors of the Gospels utilized the Hebrew Scriptures as they composed their Gospels, what early Jews thought about a "messiah," and a host of other aspects of Jesus' Jewish world.
I plan to post one new video every week.
