Join hosts Rev. Katie Langston and Kathryn M. Schifferdecker along with guest Prof. Emerita of Old Testament at Luther Seminary, Diane L. Jacobson as we reflect on lessons from history and their impact on faith today.



In this episode of the Enter the Bible Podcast, we tackle a listener-submitted question that explores the complex relationship between early Christianity and Jewish identity. Drawing from Paul's writings and the historical context of the early church, we uncover the tensions and unity between Jewish and Gentile believers. Learn how faith practices can foster joy and community, the significance of humility for Gentile Christians, and how Ephesians 2 calls for breaking down barriers.

Original Question Submitted:  

"How does Scripture, particularly Galatians, Acts 15, and Ephesians 2:15, address the question of whether Jewish believers in Jesus were expected to stop observing Jewish practices, given the clear teaching that Gentile believers did not have to adopt them?"
