After centuries of persecution, oppression, forced migrations, and
exclusion in the name of Christ, the development of a Jewish "Quest
for the Historical Jesus" might seem unexpected. This book gives an
overview and analysis of the various Jewish perspectives on the
Nazarene throughout the centuries, emphasizing the variety of
German voices in Anglo-American contexts. It explores the reasons
for a steady increase in Jewish interest in Jesus since the end of
the eighteenth century, arguing that this growth had a strategic
goal: the justification of Judaism as a living faith alongside
Christianity.
