William Finck of Christogenea.org delves into the complex identity of Jesus Christ, questioning the widespread assumption that He was a Jew. Drawing on historical and biblical scholarship, Finck challenges long-held beliefs that have shaped the relationship between Jews and Christians.
In this discussion, he explores the ancient distinctions between Judah and Judea, the conversion of Edomites, and the racial and cultural dynamics of first-century Palestine. He also examines the evolving meaning of the term ‘Jew’, the role of mixed ancestry in biblical lineages, and the traditions of the early Hebrews.
By unpacking these often-overlooked details, Finck argues that modern misunderstandings about Jewish identity continue to influence contemporary Christian theology, geopolitics, and the narrative surrounding Israel and Zionism.
