Who is Adele Reinhartz? Adele Reinhartz FRSC is a Canadian academic and a specialist in the history and literature of Christianity and Judaism in the Greco-Roman period. Also, specialized in the Gospel of John, early Jewish-Christian relations, literary criticism including
feminist literary criticism, feminist exegesis, and the impact of the Bible on popular cinema and television. In 1975 Reinhartz received her BA degree in religious studies from the University of Toronto, in 1977 her MA degree, and in 1983 her PhD degree in religious studies from McMaster University.
What is Gospel? Gospel is the Old English translation of Greek evangelion, meaning "good news". It originally meant the Christian message itself, but in the 2nd century it came to be used for the books in which the message was set out. The four gospels of the New
Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main source of information on the life of Jesus.
What is Jews? Judaism encompasses the religion, philosophy, culture and way of life of the Jewish people. Judaism is a monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental
oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship that God established with the Children of Israel.

Judaism includes a wide corpus of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organization. Within Judaism there are a variety of movements, most of which emerged from Rabbinic Judaism, which holds that God revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah.

The Jews are an ethnoreligious group and include those born Jewish and converts to Judaism. In 2012, the world Jewish population was estimated at about 14 million, or roughly 0.2% of the total world population. About 42% of all Jews reside in Israel and about 42% reside in the United States and Canada, with most of the remainder living in Europe.
