Insight – Discovering the Jewish Foundations of Pentecost

What is the connection between Shavuot and Pentecost? How can understanding the Jewish roots of the Bible deepen our appreciation of the Holy Spirit’s work today?

Tonight on Insight, Pastor Jan-Aage Torp welcomes distinguished theologian Brad H. Young for a fascinating and timely conversation on the Jewish foundations of Pentecost.

Dr. Young served for more than three decades as a Tenured Professor of Judaic-Christian Studies at Oral Roberts University, where he taught Bible and theology while helping students and leaders gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity.

Pastor Torp has had the privilege of knowing Dr. Young through the Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity in Israel, a fellowship that brings together Jewish and Christian theologians, scholars, and leaders from Israel and around the world.

As believers celebrate Pentecost, this conversation offers valuable insight into the biblical and historical background of this pivotal event. Together, they explore how the message of Pentecost is connected to God’s covenant purposes and why its Jewish context remains so important for Christians today.

This is a rich, inspiring, and informative episode that will challenge, encourage, and deepen your understanding of Scripture.
