There are many parallels between Jesus and the rabbis of his day. In “Rabbinic Parallels” we will show how an examination of rabbinic literature can enhance our understanding of the sayings of Jesus.
The following titles constitute a series of JP articles by David Bivin on the value of rabbinic parallels for understanding the sayings of Jesus. The order of the six articles is as follows:
- “Rabbinic Literature: A Spiritual Treasure for Christians”
- “Jesus’ ‘Harvest’ Saying”
- “Parables and Foundations”
- “A Measure of Humility”
- “Prayers for Emergencies”
- “King Parables”
