Five proposals on race

Last updated on: May 8, 2021 at 12:13 pm By Gerald McDermott

Our nation is roiled by a debate over whether it is systemically racist, and how to think about race. Christians wonder how the gospel applies to this confusing debate. How should we think about our nation’s racist history? Where does God fit in? How should we respond as Christians? I have been privileged to join IRD-hosted discussions with Jewish and Christian thinkers—mostly black—on this subject in the last few years. Based on these discussions and their writings, I propose five approaches to... Read more

Theopolis reviews Race and Covenant

Last updated on: April 15, 2021 at 2:33 pm By Gerald McDermott

A group of notable thinkers gathered to discuss biblical resources for addressing racial conflict in America in February 2019 at Samford University in Birmingham. Race and Covenant, the product of these scholars’ efforts, offers an analysis of America’s race dilemma and how to overcome it based on the idea of national covenant. The essays are even more relevant after the events of summer 2020, amidst the ensuing public discussion on race, justice, and social reform. Each essay stands alone, but the work expresses...

an anti-Jewish Jesus in Holy Week?

Last updated on: March 30, 2021 at 8:10 am By Gerald McDermott

I step with trepidation when I visit a new church in Holy Week. Typically the pastors and readers know little or nothing of the debates over the supposed anti-semitism gospel of John, from which many of the Holy Week texts are taken. So the readings often seem to pit Jesus against “the Jews,” and suggest that all “the Jews” supported the arrest and torture of the Messiah. And worse yet, that Jesus himself condemned “the Jews” and therefore their religion.... Read more

new book on Jewish Roots of Christianity

Last updated on: March 16, 2021 at 5:42 pm By Gerald McDermott

Friends, My latest book is now available. Top scholars explain in accessible language the Jewish roots of Christianity. Here are some questions it answers: Did Jesus start a new religion, radically different from the Judaism of his day? Did Paul say we are now free from Jewish law? Does the book of Hebrews claim that God’s covenant with Israel is over? When did the churches and synagogues split from each other? Have the Christian churches been anti-semitic? What is messianic...

How not to be pastoral

Last updated on: March 2, 2021 at 4:05 pm By Gerald McDermott

It is easy to be led astray theologically when trying to be pastoral. You could say that was the mistake that the Episcopal Church made. Starting in the 1970s its leaders said that in order to heal the hurts of the same-sex attracted (SSA) we must let them live out their sexual desires. Later, that meant marriage for gays. It didn’t matter, for TEC, that the plain sense of Scripture and the whole Christian tradition were against these moves. Scripture... Read more
