My dear Friends
The talk on Sunday was a great success. Eight people came, all from different backgrounds, several Catholics and two people from the Reform Jewish community. Jonathan spoke on The Beginning of Jewish Christian Relations and it was very interesting. He spoke about the different Jewish factions in Galilee and Jerusalem in the first century AD and how this background sheds light on the New Testament .
He mentioned how the Pharisees were the 'nouveau riche' of the time and how the Temple had become corrupt.He mentioned the story of how Jesus overturned the tables of the moneylenders in the Temple.
There were various interesting questions afterwards and refreshments were served.It was a nice venue and thank you to Darwin College for hosting us.
Shalom from
Sister Gila
