Listen "Galilee to Jerusalem | Ep 14: Rejecting the Messiah and the Judgment of God"
Episode Synopsis
In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores how Matthew and Luke offer contrasting interpretations of the destruction of Jerusalem as divine judgment, rooted in prophetic tradition yet shaped by their distinct theological aims. It emphasises the importance of reading these ancient gospel texts carefully and in context, especially in light of the harm caused by decontextualised interpretations throughout history. The discussion is framed by the renewed Christian–Jewish relationship articulated in Vatican II, which affirms the enduring covenant with the Jewish people and rejects any notion that Judaism has been replaced or superseded by Christianity.📧 Sign up for regular updates, including follow-up study days!📚 Explore the wide range of reading materials in the Heythrop Library🤓 Join online or in-person courses at the London Jesuit CentreIf you find our podcasts helpful, please consider donating to the London Jesuit Centre.
