  • 3 Ways Misreading Paul Fuels Antisemitism
    Apr 24 2025

    Is the Apostle Paul anti-Jewish? Or have we misunderstood him for centuries?

    In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, we confront one of the most damaging legacies of Christian interpretation: the misreading of Paul that has fueled antisemitism. We unpack three common distortions of Paul’s writings and explore how reclaiming his Jewish identity can lead to healing, not harm.

    🔍 You’ll learn:

    Why Paul didn’t reject Judaism—but stayed rooted in it

    How “the law vs. grace” has been misused to paint Judaism as lifeless

    Why Paul’s words don’t support supersessionism—and what he really meant by “branches grafted in”

    This is a call to rethink Paul, resist antisemitic theology, and build bridges—not barriers—between Christians and Jews.

    Was Paul’s body as robust as his reputation? In this episode, Dr. Isaac Soon joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book, A Disabled Apostle. We explore compelling historical evidence that Paul lived with multiple disabilities—and how this impacts how we read his letters. From “thorn in the flesh” to ancient views on circumcision and stature, this conversation offers a powerful new lens on Paul’s life, theology, and mission.

    Jesus' resurrection was indeed a cause for celebration in Paul's mind!

    But when would Paul have celebrated the resurrection? Would it have been Easter or Passover? And what would Paul think about Christians celebrating Jesus' resurrection on Easter in modern times?

    We discuss all this and more in this 3-minute video!
