Jesus Reclaimed

Jewish Perspectives on the Nazarene

Beschreibung

In this cross-cultural study the author compares Jewish and Christian discourses. Offers a historical account of Jewish perspectives on the Nazarene and the potential reasons for the recent increased interest in Jesus. Contrasts the Jewish quest for a historical Jesus against the hardship faced by Jewish communities in the name of their religion. Argues that the resurgence of interest in Jesus since the 18th century is to justify the existence of Judaism alongside Christianity.
