Theological Study
Into His Own: A tool for the historical study of Christian scriptures. 'Since the works in the New Testament were composed in implicit and often explicit dialog with first century champions of Jewish tradition, the bulk of the passages included here have been excerpted from works written by Jewish authors, especially those composed after the Hebrew scriptures that can be found in any Christian "Old Testament." But there are also selections from non-Jewish sources that help bring the writings of Christian authors into a clearer cultural perspective. The world in which Jesus lived & out of which Christianity emerged was not simply Jewish, but rather a complex cultural cauldron in which the ideologies, social standards & politics of Jews and non-Jews interacted, often with explosive results'. -- http://religion.rutgers.edu/iho/

A thoughtful, interesting article. -- http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/10/wolfe.htm
