""'A painstakingly researched, meticulously documented, cogently reasoned and eminently readable book. It represents an important step forward in New Testament study which henceforward scholars, even if they do not agree with it will not be able to ignore.' Times Literary Supplement 'For those who are concerned to penetrate to the historical realities within the gospel records this is an extremely important book.' Expository Times 'Can only be described as epoch-making.' Jewish Chronicle"" In this, Geza Vermes' best known book, there emerges perhaps the closest portrayal that we have of a genuinely historical Jesus. Freed from the weight and onus of Christian doctrine or Jewish animus, Jesus here appears as a vividly human, yet profoundly misunderstood, figure, thoroughly grounded and contextualised within the extraordinary intellectual and cultural cross currents of his day. Jesus the Jew is a remarkable portrait by a brilliant scholar writing at the height of his powers, informed by insights from the New Testament, Jewish literature, and the Dead Sea Scrolls alike.

""When Jews Face Christ"" is a book written by Henry Einspruch that explores the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. The book discusses the challenges that Jews face when they are presented with the idea of Jesus as the Messiah and how they can reconcile their beliefs with this concept. Einspruch examines the historical and theological differences between the two religions and offers insights into how Jews and Christians can find common ground. The book also includes personal stories from Jews who have converted to Christianity and how they have reconciled their beliefs. Overall, ""When Jews Face Christ"" is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the intersection of Judaism and Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
