Publisher's Summary

In The Misunderstood Jew, scholar Amy-Jill Levine helps Christians and Jews understand the "Jewishness" of Jesus so that their appreciation of him deepens and a greater interfaith dialogue can take place. Levine's humor and informed truth - telling provokes honest conversation and debate about how Christians and Jews should understand Jesus, the New Testament, and each other.

Textbook case

Professor Levine has written an outstanding interfaith textbook for ministers and rabbis. Her work is well documented and her arguments cite the primary sources, not second hand opinions. I recommend it because she has crafted a solid case for both Jew and Christian to examine Jesus' claims and teachings in light of first century Jewish life and culture. The narrator effectively communicates to the listener the content of Professor Levine's thesis. Glad I bought this audiobook.
