Jesus Did NOT Declare All Foods Clean | Messiah Conference 2023

Описание: At the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) Messiah Conference 2023, Jonathan gave a presentation addressing the standard interpretation of Mark 7.15–19. He presents three reasons why it is implausible that Jesus abrogated Israel's dietary laws and then offers a reading of the text that makes better sense of Jesus's argument in its Jewish context.

Special thanks to Dr. Logan Williams for sharing his research with us on Mark 7.18–19 for this presentation! Dr. Williams won the 2022 Paul J. Achtemeier Award for New Testament scholarship for his paper, “The Stomach Purifies All Foods: Jesus’ Anatomical Argument in Mark 7.18–19,” and it will be published as an article in the peer-reviewed journal, New Testament Studies.
