In this special episode Kerry interviews Trevan Hatch and Avram Shannon to understand their points of views on who the Pharisees are, their impact on Jewish culture at the time of Jesus, and how they interact with the Savior. They don't always fully agree, but together they explore how the Pharisees are often misunderstood, how understanding their role in Jewish life can help us understand the New Testament, how misunderstanding them can lead to anti-Semitism, and other topics.
Make sure you listen to part two of this roundtable.
We reference the book "A Stranger in Jerusalem" by Trevan Hatch.
