Why Are Jews Not Christians?
by Zeev Farber
Review:
“The most amazing features of this book are its breadth and meticulousness. …The range of sources utilized is quite astounding. … I was happy to acknowledge the author’s familiarity with Christian scriptures and theology. Just because one is an orthodox Jew it doesn’t mean you cannot study texts from other traditions. It is worth noting how wide net he had cast in the process of providing answers to the main questions. It is not just the New Testament (in various translations) that he uses to prove his points, but also Didache and many writings from even later. … I also recommend using the book as a reference book. Any time a Jewish person chats with a Christian about Jesus and his role in Judaism and Jewish life, you could just look up any of the issues that might come up. Every few pages in the book are devoted to a new issue with its own title, often put in question format.”.
