Book excerpt: This study of early Christianity investigates how the Gospel of Christ and Christian ideas influenced Jewish rabbinical texts, particularly the Talmud and Midrash. How and to what extent the emergence of Christian beliefs in the 1st century AD influenced the existing Jewish lore is a lively topic long debated between religious historians and theologians. This investigation ranges from the time following the death of Christ to the early 4th century AD; the time at which the Roman Empire formally converted to Christianity under the Emperor Constantine. The author makes the case that the establishment of churches and growing numbers of Christians in Europe and the Middle East affected the texts of Judaism considerably. The author's objective is to meticulously chart the various mentions and allusions to Christ and Christian doctrine in the Jewish Rabbinical lore. He does so by analyzing the language and expressions in the texts, noting how these correspond to events in the life of Jesus, and to various passages in the Bible. The composition of Jewish writings between the 1st and 4th centuries is intensely examined, with the presence of Jesus and Christian ideas - both explicit and implied - discussed at length. The attitudes of rabbis of the era are likewise examined, whether negative, neutral or sympathetic to Christian believers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in Talmud and Midrash The great host of books which have been written upon the early history of Christianity have, amidst all their differences, one characteristic in common. They are almost entirely based upon the study of Christian documents. This of course is natural, and no investigation which should neglect those documents would lead to results of any value. But the field of inquiry is not exhausted when the Christian literature has been thoroughly explored. There is a Jewish literature which also needs to be examined. Considering that, historically, Christianity is an outgrowth from Judaism, and that the Judaism with which the origin of Christianity was contemporary was the Judaism not of the prophets but of the Rabbis, it is obvious that the Rabbinical literature must also be consulted if a thorough investigation into the origin of Christianity is to be made. The necessity of examining the Rabbinical literature is of course denied by no scholar who has written on early Christian history, but such examination cannot be said to have been as yet thoroughly carried out.

Download or read book Jesus in the Talmud written by Peter Schäfer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scattered throughout the Talmud, the founding document of rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, can be found quite a few references to Jesus--and they're not flattering. In this lucid, richly detailed, and accessible book, Peter Schäfer examines how the rabbis of the Talmud read, understood, and used the New Testament Jesus narrative to assert, ultimately, Judaism's superiority over Christianity. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus' birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus' resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell--and that a similar fate awaits his followers. Schäfer contends that these stories betray a remarkable familiarity with the Gospels--especially Matthew and John--and represent a deliberate and sophisticated anti-Christian polemic that parodies the New Testament narratives. He carefully distinguishes between Babylonian and Palestinian sources, arguing that the rabbis' proud and self-confident countermessage to that of the evangelists was possible only in the unique historical setting of Persian Babylonia, in a Jewish community that lived in relative freedom. The same could not be said of Roman and Byzantine Palestine, where the Christians aggressively consolidated their political power and the Jews therefore suffered. A departure from past scholarship, which has played down the stories as unreliable distortions of the historical Jesus, Jesus in the Talmud posits a much more deliberate agenda behind these narratives.

Download or read book The Bible the Talmud and the New Testament written by Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Slutzk, Russia, in 1805, Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik is a largely forgotten member of the prestigious Soloveitchik rabbinic dynasty. Before Hayyim Soloveitchik developed the standard Brisker method of Talmudic study, or Joseph Dov Soloveitchik helped to found American Modern Orthodox Judaism, Elijah Soloveitchik wrote Qol Qore, a rabbinic commentary on the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. Qol Qore drew on classic rabbinic literature, and particularly on the works of Moses Maimonides, to argue for the compatibility of Christianity with Judaism. To this day, it remains the only rabbinic work to embrace the compatability of Orthodox Judaism and the Christian Bible. In The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament, Shaul Magid presents the first-ever English translation of Qol Qore. In his contextualizing introduction, Magid explains that Qol Qore offers a window onto the turbulent historical context of nineteenth-century European Jewry. With violent anti-Semitic activity on the rise in Europe, Elijah Soloveitchik was unique in believing that the roots of anti-Semitism were theological, based on a misunderstanding of the New Testament by both Jews and Christians. His hope was that the Qol Qore, written in Hebrew and translated into French, German, and Polish, would reach Jewish and Christian audiences alike, urging each to consider the validity of the other's religious principles. In an era characterized by fractious debates between Jewish communities, Elijah Soloveitchik represents a voice that called for radical unity amongst Jews and Christians alike.
Download or read book Christianity in Ancient Jewish Tradition written by William Horbury and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity in Ancient Jewish Tradition, the topic of this short work, has played a large part in the approach of non-Jews to post-Biblical Jewish literature as a whole. Here special attention is paid to the formative thirteenth-century phase in the study of this topic, in Cambridge and throughout western Europe, with reference to rediscovered Greek and Hebrew sources for ancient Judaism and in a setting of mission and Jewish-Christian disputation. It is argued that study of explicit references to Christianity in Jewish tradition should be held together, as in the thirteenth century, with consideration of the question whether Christianity is somehow implicit in the Jewish tradition from which it derives. A survey of aspects of medieval and modern enquiry leads to suggestions for an approach to the topic today.

Download or read book A Rivalry of Genius written by Marc Hirshman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By comparing interpretations of the Hebrew Bible by Jews, Christians, and Gnostics in Late Antiquity, this book provides a unique perspective on these religious movements in Palestine. Rival interpretations of the early Church and the Midrash are set against the backdrop of the pagan critique of these religions and the gnostic threat that grew within both Christianity and Judaism. The comparison of the exegetical works of Christianity and Judaism illuminates the later development of the two religions and offers fresh insight into the Bible itself.
