New Audio JP: “What’s Wrong with Contagious Purity? Debunking the Myth that Jesus Never Became Ritually Impure”

Jerusalem Perspective recently published a new article that re-examines Jesus’ attitude toward ritual purity.^[1] This new JP article challenges easy assumptions that Jesus had a negative view of, or was impervious to, ritual purity. Instead of allowing modern prejudices to distort our picture of Jesus and his relationship to Second Temple Judaism this article offers a new perspective on Jesus’ attitude toward ritual purity that places him firmly within his first-century Jewish context. It also discovers a spiritual depth to Jesus’ behavior that more simplistic views do not. Newly released in Audio JP mp3 format you can listen now to “What’s Wrong with Contagious Purity? Debunking the Myth that Jesus Never Became Ritually Impure.”
