We explore the distinctions between biblical Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism, and Talmudic Judaism, delving into how these groups have viewed each other throughout history. From early church fathers to the Reformation, we examine the tensions and occasional alliances between Jews and Christians.

We react to common misconceptions about Jewish-Christian relations and address sensitive topics surrounding modern Judaism's influence on society. Join us as we navigate this controversial subject with honesty and biblical insight.

Looking at key Hebrew words, parallel passages, and the broader context of Genesis, we demonstrate why viewing male authority as part of the curse misinterprets God's design for marriage.
