The Bible with and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently

Previously, Levine and Brettler have provided support for the idea that Christians and Jews should view the New Testament as Jewish literature. Here, they go a step further to argue that the scriptures that some call the Old Testament and others the Tanakh owe their meanings to the communities in which their interpretations have developed, effectively showing how the separate interpretations may never converge, but the integrity of each can be appreciated.

The Bible and the Believer

This even-handed work is a welcome contribution not only to biblical scholars, but also to laity. It will foster respectful ecumenical as well as interfaith dialog (not debate). The extensive footnotes and glossary of terms further assist readers. A good addition to academic, theological, and general collections.

The Jewish Annotated New Testament

Further enriched by maps, diagrams, and embedded conceptual discussions on topics like parables, law in Jewish practice, and the Pharisees, this very readable work provides much needed historical and literary background to the Jewish roots of Christianity. Highly recommended for New Testament history and literature students.
