“”Bible teachers” as ignorant of Church history as they were of theology decided what their followers needed a more Judeo/Israel-centric view of the Bible.”
Since almost all of scripture was written by Jews, it therefore should be relevant to have an understanding of Jewish perceptions and customs.
Such an understanding does not require a Judeo/Israel-centric reading of the Bible. Or, to put it another way, "It's not about the Jews."
