Dining with Pharisees

by Fr Patrick J Mullen 

Dining with Pharisees calls upon Luke 7:36-50 as a starting point for studying the Pharisees from a perspective that aims to "redeem" them from anti-Semitic readings of the New Testament and establishes Jesus as a first century Jew.   The book demonstrates how Luke's themes, particularly those regarding the poor and marginalized, shape his conflation of Mark's story of Simon the leper with other Lukan traditions.
