Jesus: First-Century Rabbi: A New Edition -- David Zaslow

This bold, fresh look at the historical Jesus and the Jewish roots of Christianity challenges both Jews and Christians to re-examine their understanding of Jesus' commitment to his Jewish faith. Instead of emphasizing the differences between the two religions, this groundbreaking text explains how the concepts of vicarious atonement, mediation, incarnation, and Trinity are actually rooted in classical Judaism. Using the cutting edge of scholarly research, Rabbi Zaslow dispels the myths of disparity between Christianity and Judaism without diluting the unique features of each faith. Jesus: First Century Rabbi is a breath of fresh air for Christians and Jews who want to strengthen and deepen their own faith traditions. <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> David Zaslow<br><b>Publisher:</b> Paraclete Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 05/01/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 220<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781612616445<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Rabbi David Zaslow, M.S., </b>is the spiritual leader of Havurah Shir Hadash, a synagogue in Ashland, Oregon.
