Many Christians continue to wrestle with the question of how to relate to the Jewish law. Has Jesus abolished it entirely? Should certain elements – such as the Ten Commandments – still be observed, while others are set aside? Or are Christians called to take the Jewish law far more seriously than is often assumed?
In this Summer School, Dr Paulus de Jong and Prof Jason A. Myers offer a probing introduction to the diverse voices within the New Testament on this complex issue. Together, we will explore the distinctive visions of the Jewish law found in Matthew, John, Luke, and Paul.
Four Wednesdays (3-24 June 2026)
7.00-8.30pm (BST) weekly
£150 p.p.
