Was Jesus the founder of Christianity of a teacher of Judaism? When
he argued the latter based on the New Testament, Abraham Geiger
ignited an intense debate that began in 19th-century Germany but
continues in the late-20th century. Geiger was a pioneer of Reform
Judaism and a founder of Jewish studies and developed a Jewish
version of Christian origins. He contended that Jesus was a member
of the pharisees, a progressive and liberalizing group within
1st-century Judaism, and that he taught nothing new or original.
This argumant enraged German Protestant theologians, some of whom
produced a tragic counterargument based upon racial theory. In this
study Susannah Heschel traces the genesis of Geiger's argument and
examines the reaction to it within Christian theology. She
concludes that Geiger initiated an intellectual revolt by the
colonized against the colonizer, an attempt not to assimilate into
Christianity by adopting Jesus as a Jew, but to overthrow Christian
intellectual hegemony by claiming that Christianity - and all of
Western civilization - was the product of Judaism.
