What the ethical implications – and limitations – of Artificial Intelligence? Microsoft engineer Brendan Newell joins us, and Andre Villeneuve looks at the relationship between the Church and Israel.

What St Paul says about the Church and the Jews

Regardless of how we feel about political talking points, the Church has made clear where she stands on her relationship with the Jewish People. We talk more about what the Church has said, from St. Paul to Nostra Aetate, with Andre Villeneuve.

Dr. Andre Villenuevé is an Associate Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. He received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2013, writing his dissertation on the topic of nuptial symbolism in the New Testament and in ancient Jewish writings. His main areas of interest include the study of Sacred Scripture, the Jewish roots of the Catholic faith, leading pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and fostering the reconciliation of Israel and the Church through the work of Catholics for Israel.
