How did women express their spirituality? Did they have any power?
A Body, Vultures and the Son of Man (Luke 17:37)
“Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together” (Luke 17:37; KJV), is certainly one of the most enigmatic of Jesus’ sayings.
Counting the Omer: On What Day of the Week Did Jesus Celebrate Shavuot (Pentecost)?
The date of Shavuot was the focus of one of the fiercest of many debates between the Pharisees and Sadducees.
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: Did the Rich Man End Up in Hell or Gehenna? (Luke 16:22)
Mechanically reconstructing to Hebrew Greek texts found in Matthew, Mark and Luke on the basis of Septuagintal equivalents can widely miss the mark.
Why does Jerusalem Perspective use the Greek name “Jesus” instead of “Y’shua” or “Yeshua”?
We use the spelling “Jesus” simply because that’s the way the name is written in English.
Does God Have a Gender?
Some people see theological significance in the fact that in Hebrew the gender of the third person of the Trinity is feminine.
Which Day Is the True Sabbath: Saturday or Sunday?
We must be careful to maintain a distinction between a day of meeting and a day of rest.
Did Jerome see the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew?
Not only did Jerome (374-420 A.D.) claim to have seen a Hebrew gospel, he said he had translated it.
Why does Jerusalem Perspective avoid using the term “Old Testament”?
It is not just in deference to Jewish sensitivities that we avoid “Old Testament,” but because we feel that for the Christian as well the term misrepresents the document.
