FAQ: Why “Hebraic” and not “Jewish Thought”?
Episode Summary
In this FAQ episode of the Center for Hebraic Thought Podcast, Dr. Dru Johnson talks about the difference between the terms “Hebraic Thought” and “Jewish Thought.” Rather than focusing on Judaism as derived from the Second Temple Period of Israel or the Jewish Talmudic scholars and rabbis, the Center aims to discuss the philosophical worldview developed within the Hebrew Bible and to share it with modern-day Christian churches.
