Interviews
As an internationally recognized authority on the life and teaching of Jesus, Dr. Young has a remarkable impact for believers around the world. His work has empowered audiences to return Jesus’ culture, time and people, to the distant and foreign world of late Second Temple Period Judaism, and to have the courage to listen to Jesus’ teachings afresh. Below are some interviews that demonstrate Dr. Young’s passion in studying and teaching of Jesus presented in the Gospels against the rich and diverse backdrop of ancient Judaism.
The New Testament was written in Greek, but were its authors working from Hebrew originals? Dr. Young was a guest on the First Fruits of Zion’s Messiah Podcast where he explores the possibility that Hebrew ideas and Hebrew vocabulary lie behind the Greek text and that this Hebrew undertext is the key to understanding Jesus and the Apostles.
The Hebrew Heritage Bible: Newer Testament transports the reader into the culture, language, and Jewish thought of the Second Temple period, the time when Jesus lived, through the use of Hebrew literal functional equivalents. Dr. Young had the opportunity to fully discuss this translation with the History Valley podcast.
To avoid misunderstanding the message of Jesus, it is essential to familiarize oneself with the family and culture of Jesus. Dr. Young was able to discuss this concept at length with Religion & Ethics News Weekly.
