Christmas for Jews: The New Testament Story in its Jewish Context

Gospel stories of Jesus’ conception and birth are based in Jewish history: Matthew’s Jesus is a new Moses; Luke’s Virgin Mary is a new Hannah; and the “virgin birth” has roots in the Greek translation of Isaiah.

Join us for a discussion of how the Church adapted its Jewish roots and how Jews developed their own stories of miraculous births in light of Christian claims.
