A Jewish Lights classic reprint. Written in a non-technical way for
the layperson, this candid and forthright look at the what and why
of the Jewish attitude toward Jesus is a clear and forceful
exposition that guides both Christians and Jews in timely and
relevant discussion and action. Examining the Jewish perspective
throughout history and today, Sandmel introduces fresh discussion
on the subject from the standpoint of a rabbi of the liberal wing
of Judaism, and presents the scholarship of the last century and a
half as pursued by both Christians and Jews. Filled with warm
sympathy for Christianity but at the same time with sturdy
intellectual honesty and loyalty to Judaism, it explains why Jesus
is of cultural and historical interest to Jews, though not of
direct religious interest. Without prejudice but admittedly
partisan, this book drives home one of the most important lessons
of our time?that Christians and Jews can be worlds apart
theologically but yet very close in mutual understanding and in
cooperation toward desirable human goals. Previously published by
Oxford University Press, 1965.
