In this episode of Out of Zion, Dr. Susan Michael begins a foundational series on Jews and Christians learning to relate to one another in mutual respect—something largely unprecedented in the last 2,000 years. Tracing the relationship from the New Testament era through the destruction of the temple, the rise of church power, centuries of separation and persecution, and the theological shifts following the Holocaust, Dr. Michael offers a historical overview that explains how these two faiths grew apart and why their renewed relationship today is so significant.
