This book gathers experiential lessons from a wide variety of academic settings. It includes perspectives from public secular colleges, Jesuit universities, Rabbinic schools or seminaries, and orthodox religious Israeli universities. Through a diverse group of Jewish and Christian contributors, this volume provides practical insights for teaching Jesus within his original historical and cultural framework.
