Jesus the Jew is the primary signifier of Christianity's
indebtedness to Judaism. This connection is both historical and
continuous. In this book, Barbara Meyer shows how Christian memory,
as largely intertwined with Jewish memory, provides a framework to
examine the theological dimensions of historical Jesus research.
She explores the topics that are central to the Jewishness of
Jesus, such as the Christian relationship to law, and otherness as
a Christological category. Through the lenses of the otherness of
the Jewish Jesus for contemporary Christians, she also discusses
circumcision, natality, vulnerability, and suffering in dialogue
with thinkers seldom drawn into Jewish-Christian discourse, notably
Hannah Arendt, Julia Kristeva, Martha Nussbaum and Adi Ophir. Meyer
demonstrates how the memory of Jesus' Jewishness is a key to
reconfiguring contemporary challenges to Christian thought, such as
particularity and otherness, law and ethics after the Shoah, human
responsibility, and divine vulnerability.
