Reviews
'Almost magically, some of the hardest and most calcified knots of Christian anti-Jewish polemics resolve into affirmative positions that not only sustain the distinctiveness of Judaism but provide resources to expand this central difference to interreligious dialogue and pluralism.' Katharina Von Kellenbach, St. Mary's College of Maryland
'This is a thoughtful, erudite, and well-argued book, which treats of fundamental questions about Christian faith and about the relationship between Christianity and Judaism.' W. Zeev Harvey, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
'Jesus the Jew in Christian Memory is an extraordinary conversation with Jewish thought and life. [This book] ... invites us to open our eyes to the halakhic Christ so that we will in turn walk our talk.' Mary C. Boys, Modern Theology
