Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Jewish view of JesusBy Thule1Concise presentation of Jewish views of Jesus the Christ who is claimed as the the Messiah and died; but rose from the dead to provide payment to God (Creator of all things) for the transgressions of individual humans who request such forgiveness and place thier faith in Jesus. The presentations are logical and sound but leave the decision to accept or reject the relationship between Jesus the Christ and God; and His offer of eternal life up to the reader. The author; although not of Jewish lineage or religious practices; is an expert on middle-eastern affairs and demonstrates his comprehensive understanding of Jewish culture and historical objections to the theocracy of Jesus the Christ. If logic alone were the deciding factor for conviction that Jesus the Christ is the true Messiah; then this presentation would probably suffice to persuade a reader to seriously consider acceptance of such a faith.
