Biblical theology was, for a long time, a Christian, mostly Protestant, field. There is now, however, a growing body of Jewish biblical theology, represented by such scholars as Jon Levenson, Benjamin Sommer, Marvin Sweeney, and Marc Brettler, who bring the Hebrew Bible into dialogue with postbiblical Jewish traditions in their exploration of its theological assertions.
A recent phenomenon in New Testament research is the involvement of Jewish scholars. They perform the vital task of correcting Christian misunderstandings, distortions, stereotypes, and calumnies, with the aim of recovering the various Jewish contexts of Jesus, Paul, and the early Christian movement. This is a welcome development in the painful history of Jewish-Christian relations.
