Description

After centuries of persecution, oppression, forced migrations, and exclusion in the name of Christ, the development of a Jewish ?Quest for the Historical Jesus ? might seem unexpected.? This book gives an overview and analysis of the various Jewish perspectives on the Nazarene throughout the centuries, emphasizing the variety of German voices in Anglo-American contexts. It explores the reasons for a steady increase in Jewish interest in Jesus since the end of the eighteenth century, arguing that this growth had a strategic goal: the justification of Judaism as a living faith alongside Christianity.
