About

The New Testament was written by Jewish believers in Jesus, with the possible exception of Luke. But for many Christians, the Jewish context of “B’rit Hadashah” has been lost. We invite you to join us for a free webinar series with Dr. Craig Keener, professor of biblical studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. Dr. Keener will speak about how knowing the place, culture, and theology of the Jewish people can give you a greater understanding of the New Testament texts and help you to interpret them with much deeper insight. Over the course of two days, we will explore the Sermon on the Mount, the Book of Revelation, and the Gospel of John. You will need a special link to join the livestream, so register now to reserve your seat!

Session 1: The Jewish Context for the Sermon on the Mount and the Book of Matthew

Session 2: The Jewish Context for the Sermon on the Mount and the Gospel of Matthew Continued

Session 3: The Jewish Context for the Gospel of John

Session 4: The Jewish Context for the Book of Revelation

Featured Speaker

Dr. Craig Keener

Before coming to Asbury in July 2011, Dr. Keener was professor of New Testament at Palmer Theological Seminary of Eastern University, where he taught for 15 years; before that time he was professor at Hood Theological Seminary.

Craig has authored 28 books, six of which have won book awards in Christianity Today, of which altogether more than one million copies are in circulation. His IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament (1993), now in its 2nd revised edition (2014), has sold more than half a million copies (including editions in several languages, including more than fifty thousand copies in Korean). The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, for which Craig authored most of the New Testament notes (and which John Walton and Craig edited), won Bible of the Year in the 2017 Christian Book Awards, and also won Book of the Year in the Religion: Christianity category of the International Book Awards.
