There have been many studies of the doctrinal and liturgical
differences and similarities between formative Judaism and early
Christianity. Many of these studies examine the impact of
Hellenistic culture on the development of Judaism and the
consequences that such a Hellenized Judaism had for the development
of Christianity. Very few books, however, have isolated particular
spiritual practices as lenses through which to examine and compare
these two religions. In their book, Chilton and Neusner ask simply,
What are experiences both distinctive to the spiritual life of
Torah and Christ, respectively, and also accessible to our common
humanity? Their response is to examine the experiences of birth in
the faith, death by the faith, and bearing witness to the faith.
Each writer explores the ways in which classical statements of
Christ and Torah represent critical moments in a person's life of
faith, and offer a comparison of the spiritual piety that each
religion teaches and nurtures. Chilton and Neusner are the
co-authors of The Body of Faith (Trinity) and God in the World
(Trinity). Chilton is the author of Jesus Prayer and Jesus
Eucharist (Trinity). Neusner is the author or editor of over 700
books including The Incarnation of God: The Character of Divinity
in Formative Judaism. For: Clergy; seminarians; graduate students;
those interested in formative Judaism and Christianity and in
Jewish-Christian relations
