This book was a fascinating study in why and how to understand the perspective of another -another so different than yourself as to almost defy understanding, or wanting to understand. As a convert to Judaism, I thought I understood Christianity and the Christian point of view regarding Judaism, but I was wrong. I was struck again and again, for instance on page 135, by the fact that from 2000 years ago, and particularly from another point of view, these writings were very moving, and filled a human need. Too bad these writings and those human needs were often mis-used in the ensuing years, to the great loss of many human beings. 27 June, 12017 HE Shira NO OF PAGES: 336 SUB CAT I: Jewish - Christian Issues SUB CAT II: New Testament Study SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: This book is an in-depth look at the Christian scriptures, from a Jewish perspective. On Christmas day 1925, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the twentieth century's most influential Jewish leaders, gave a lecture at Carnegie Hall in New York City titled "A Jews View of Jesu He argued that Jesus, in fact, existed, contrary to popular Jewish opinion at that time. He said, "Neither Christian protest nor Jewish lamentation can annul the fact that Jesus was a Jew, an Hebrew of Hebrews." Thirty years later, Rabbi Samuel Sandmel set out to explain and introduce, for the first time inscholarly detail from a Jewish perspective, the enigmatic character of the texts held sacred by Christians, the so-called New Testament that surrounds and presents the figure of Jesus. In this new edition of Samdel's classic work, you will encounter his lucid and brilliant introduction to the New Testament from a Jewish point of view, transcending the boundaries of religion in order to share in the profound perplexities and deep aspirations that we as human beings have been inspired to express.NOTES: Purchased from CBD.

An in-depth look at the Christian scriptures--from a Jewish perspective. Many Jewish people know the New Testament only through snippets of verse heard at a Christian wedding or funeral, or through a chapter read in literature class. Many are completely unfamiliar with the meaning or messages of Christian scripture and therefore hold strange or startling judgments about it. A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament introduces the text to Jewish readers. Samuel Sandmel applies scholarly criticism and provides historical background to the writings of the New Testament, revealing how the sacred literature of other religions can provide fresh perspectives on one's own beliefs. Without compromising his Jewish identity or encouraging any traditional Jewish stereotypes of the New Testament, Sandmel offers an enlightened view of Christian beliefs and encourages readers to acknowledge their common humanity with people of all religions. (Previously published by KTAV Publishing House, 1974, ISBN 0-870682-628.) Rabbi Samuel Sandmel was professor of Bible and Hellenistic Literature at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and author of many highly regarded books in the fields of Jewish and Bible studies.
