Title: Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus By: Amy Jill Levine Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 256 Vendor: HarperOne Publication Date: 2008 | Dimensions: 8.00 X 5.31 (inches) Weight: 7 ounces ISBN: 0061137782 ISBN-13: 9780061137785 Stock No: WW137785 |
In the 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.
AMY-JILL LEVINE is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies and Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and Department of Jewish Studies. She has also taught at Swarthmore College, Cambridge University, and the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. She is the author of many books, including The Misunderstood Jew and Short Stories by Jesus, and she is the co-editor of the Jewish Annotated New Testament.
