A proposito di questo titolo

What if understanding Jesus meant stepping into His world?

Jesus in His Jewish Context helps you rediscover the Gospels through the eyes of first-century Judaism. Hosted by Dr. Jeff Colburn—a Biblical scholar with a PhD in Bible Exposition and expertise in Second Temple Judaism—this podcast bridges the gap between faith and history.

Each episode uncovers how Jewish life, Scripture, and expectation shaped Jesus’ teachings and the birth of the early church. You’ll learn why His parables echoed the rabbis, how the Temple defined His mission, and what the Kingdom of God meant to His listeners.

Whether you’re a pastor, student, or lifelong learner, you’ll walk away with deeper understanding, spiritual insight, and a renewed vision of Jesus as both Rabbi and Redeemer.

    S2 E3 - You Are the Christ - Messianic Expectations During the Second Temple Period
    Nov 12 2025

    Before Peter ever called Jesus the Christ, generations of Jews had longed for a deliverer—an anointed one who would restore Israel’s kingdom, purify the Temple, and bring justice to the world.

    In this episode, Dr. Jeff Colburn uncovers the diverse messianic hopes of Second Temple Judaism—from royal sons of David to priestly reformers and prophetic figures like Moses and Elijah. Drawing on texts from the Hebrew Scriptures, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and writings like 1 Enoch and the Psalms of Solomon, we’ll explore how these expectations shaped the atmosphere of the Gospels.

    Finally, we’ll see how Jesus both fulfilled and transformed these hopes—redefining messiahship not through conquest but through compassion, suffering, and resurrection.

    Listen now to rediscover what “Christ” truly meant in the time of Jesus.

  • S2 E2 - The World Jesus Knew: Judaism Under Rome

    S2 E2 - The World Jesus Knew: Judaism Under Rome
    Nov 5 2025

    Before we can understand what Jesus said, we must understand the world in which He spoke.

    In this episode, Dr. Jeff Colburn takes you inside the world of first-century Judaism under Roman rule — a world of empires and expectation, prophets and priests, oppression and hope.

    Discover how political tension, Temple worship, and Jewish faith shaped the social landscape of the Gospels. Learn about the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots — the diverse movements wrestling with what faithfulness to God meant under empire.

    This episode lays the foundation for everything to come, helping us see why Jesus’ announcement of the Kingdom of God was both profoundly Jewish and deeply revolutionary.

    Listen now to step into the story of faith, history, and hope that set the stage for Jesus’ ministry.
