A Jewish Tour of the Hebrew Bible—for Catholics

No sola scriptura for Jews.

Is the Jewish Sabbath merely a collection of “thou shalt nots”? What do Judaism and Catholicism share that set them both apart from Protestantism? How does the claim that “all religions basically teach the same things” breed intolerance? Is there value to the academic study of the Hebrew Bible? Do Jews accept the Protestant doctrine of “Scripture alone”? And what can a Baptist-turned-Catholic learn from a Jewish Bible professor? These are just some of the questions broached by Suan Sonna in conversation with Jon D. Levenson. (Video, 70 minutes.)
