Description: "No one debates that Jesus was a Jew. In the New Testament, he is born to a Jewish mother, and he observes the Sabbath and Jewish ceremonial laws throughout his life. Yet over the centuries both Jews and Christians have tended to emphasize the differences between the two religions and downplay the strong similarities. Jesus and Moses points out that the lessons Jesus taught for living a pure and spiritual life are remarkably similar to the beliefs of Moses, Abraham, and other Old Testament patriarchs, showing how Jesus's teachings connect with the Jewish spiritual tradition. The book presents side-by-side the sayings of Jesus and the teachings found in the Old Testament, Talmud, and other Jewish works."--Publisher's description.
