Discovering Jesus in His Jewish Context 2026

When God chose to become one of us, he did so in the specific cultural, social, economic, and political context of first-century Israel. Jesus was Jewish and preached almost exclusively to other Jews. Yet his message spread throughout the ancient world, and continues to do so today. Understanding Jesus’ first-century Jewish context is essential for understanding and applying theology, here and now.

Jerusalem Seminary (JS) courses are engagingly academic and taught by experts in their field. While JS’ courses are not externally accredited, they can be taken for internal JS credit. Any internal JS credit will accrue and at a later time would hopefully, through articulation agreements and accreditation bodies, receive official accreditation; a process that JS has begun.
