Read the attached article by Michael Cook. The full title of his article is “The New Testament: Confronting Its Impact on Jewish-Christian Relations“. Cook argues that a number of New Testament texts espouse anti-Jewish views. He examines three responses/avenues to this claim and assesses them (pages 295–300).
Avenue #1–Denial that the New Testament is Itself Anti-Jewish
Avenue #2–The New Testament’s Anti-Jewishness is Acknowledged, but Mainly in Terms That Tend to Minimize its Importance or Otherwise Explain it Away
Avenue #3–The New Testament’s Anti-Jewishness is Recognized as a Serious Problem Requiring Full Confrontation
Answer the following questions:
1) With which avenue do you identify? Explain why.
2) In section VII of his article, Cook discusses Coping with the Problem Today. How do you think Christians should cope with the problem?
