O judaísmo e o cristianismo são verdadeiros colossos culturais. Espalhados pelo mundo ao longo de milênios, essas religiões produziram identidades tão complexas e variadas, que é preciso falar de "judaísmos" e "cristianismos". No entanto, apesar dessa diversidade, esses sistemas de crença têm origem comum e partem da leitura e da interpretação do mesmo texto sagrado: a Bíblia hebraica. Em Nós e a Bíblia, André Daniel Reinke investiga o fenômeno de como o mesmo texto bíblico pode ser interpretado de maneiras tão distintas e produzir culturas tão plurais.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

Jesus was a Jew, his friends were Jews, his first followers were Jews, he studied the Hebrew Scriptures (either orally or from texts), he worshiped in the synagogue, and he occasionally traveled to Jerusalem to observe the Israelite festivals. Hatch illustrates that Jesus does not seem to have rejected Judaism or acted as a radical outsider in relation to his Jewish peers, but rather, he worked within a Jewish framework.
