Jews Don’t Need Jesus—And Other Misconceptions
Believe it or not, there are well-intentioned Christians who say that because Israel is specially favored by God, Jews don’t really need Jesus for salvation. Avi Snyder says otherwise. He sets the record straight this week on The Land and the Book. It’s a conversation we’ve titled “Jews Don’t Need Jesus—And Other Misconceptions,” based on the Moody Publishers book. Join us for The Land and the Book
