David Klinghoffer

One of the single best books on the subject, for the non-technical reader. Most people simply do not understand the reasons that Jews never accepted Jesus as the messiah of Israel. There is a tendency to assume that the rejection is due to a lack of faith, or for the simplistic reasons that rise from a reading of the Christian's New Testament. In truth however, there are a lot of reasons both historical and theological for why Judaism never accepted Jesus as anything more than another show more false-messiah during an age when they were literally popping up everywhere. Accept or reject the premise, this book has a lot of information and is very readable and engaging. show less

Klinghoffer weaves an elegant interpretation of history, biblical citation and oral tradition to map out the life of Abraham and to elucidate his influence on three of the world's major religions. Whether you are a believer or an unbeliever; whether Jew, Christian or Muslim, this book is intriguing and whether you agree or disagree with Klinghoffer’s conclusions, the book will make you think.

Very challenging read, especially having been raised in a protestant tradition. Very good, and I plan to re-read it again
