The Misunderstood Jew : the Church And the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus

In the The Misunderstood Jew, bible 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.  Shows how frequently and disastrously inaccurate beliefs about Jesus and early Judaism produce distorted relationships in the present.

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.
