About the Book

Jewish Foundations of the New Testament is a scholarly exploration of the deep-rooted connections between Judaism and early Christianity, focusing on the Jewish context of the New Testament. The author delves into the historical, cultural, and theological intersections between the two faiths, addressing the complex relationship that has shaped Christian theology and biblical interpretation over centuries. The book offers strategies for readers seeking to avoid anti-Jewish readings of the New Testament, thereby fostering improved Jewish-Christian relations. Presenting thirty New Testament passages that have historically and adversely influenced Jewish-Christian relations, each chapter discusses various interpretations, emphasizing the need for contextual awareness to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes. The book focuses on four key challenges that contribute to anti-Jewish bias in New Testament interpretation: the portrayal of Pharisees, the term "Jews" in the Gospel of John, the role of the Law in Pauline theology, and the notion of the "New Covenant" in the Epistle to the Hebrews. Most powerfully, Svartvik critiques the longstanding theological approach known as supersessionism, or replacement theology, which claims that Christianity has replaced Judaism as the true faith. Svartvik suggests that this framework has led to a misinterpretation of key biblical passages, fueling anti-Jewish rhetoric and contributing to theological triumphalism. The book serves as a resource for scholars, clergy, and lay readers who wish to approach the New Testament with sensitivity toward the Jewish tradition. It encourages an interpretive shift that recognizes the Jewish roots of Christianity and aims to foster a more respectful and constructive engagement with the biblical texts. Jesper Svartvik is the former Krister Stendahl Chair of Theology of Religions, which included teaching and research both in Jerusalem and Lund, Sweden. He is currently canon theologian in the Diocese of Karlstad, Church of Sweden. †
