The Talmud, the Rabbis, and Jesus: Breaking Down the Myths - A Conversation with Dr. Isaac Oliver | BBF08
What is the Talmud—and what does it have to do with Jesus, Paul, and the New Testament?
In this episode of the Bridge Builders Forum, Ryan Lambert is joined by Dr. Isaac Oliver, a scholar of early Judaism and Christian origins, to explore the true nature of the Talmud and its role in Jewish tradition. Together, they unpack common misconceptions, trace the development of rabbinic literature, and discuss how the Talmud can illuminate the Jewish roots of Christianity.
They also confront the ways the Talmud has been misused to promote antisemitism and challenge listeners to think more deeply about Jewish-Christian understanding.
Whether you’re new to the Talmud or curious how it connects with your faith, this episode offers clarity, context, and insight.
