I promised more information a while ago regarding a lecture given late last year at one of the universities in Melbourne by an Orthodox Jewish Scholar who gave an impressive and thoughtfull talk directed to the Jewish community to re-consider Paul as an authentic Jewish Rabbi - one to be taken seriously. For the believers in the audience, it was amazing to hear how this Jewish unbeliver actually presented the case for Jesus as Messiah with or without realising it. For those interested, please see wiki link on Amy-Jill Levine including list of her books for further reading - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy-Jill_Levine

Thank you for sharing that link Anita. I watched her near hour long prsentation or re-assessing Jewish Christian relations.

Not surprisingly I found several areas of agreement and a few I had to take exception to, at least given my convicitions. I'm impressed with the general thrust of her message.
