A. Lukyn Williams (1853 1943) presents here a wide range of
examples of Christian apologetic writings about Judaism. Taking
material from the earliest years of the Christian Church until the
Renaissance, the book investigates sources with Syriac, Greek,
Spanish, and Latin origins. It includes observations on lost or
possible books such as the first 'Book of Testimonies' posited by
J. Rendel Harris (with whom Williams did not fully agree) which
pre-dated the Biblical Gospels; incomplete early treatises; and
scriptural extracts. Concerned more with historical detail than
with exegesis, Williams' study provides extensive scholarly
commentaries on all the texts included and covers possible dates of
origin, sources, intended audience, and biographical information
about the authors. First published in 1935 with the aim of offering
source material in an area often neglected by scholars, the book
remains a useful resource for students and scholars of Christian
Jewish relations.
