Jesus Reclaimed
Jewish Perspectives on the NazareneAfter centuries of persecution, oppression, forced migrations, and exclusion in the name of Christ, the development of a Jewish ‘Quest for the Historical Jesus’ might seem unexpected. This book gives an overview and analysis of the various Jewish perspectives on the Nazarene throughout the centuries, emphasizing the variety of German voices in Anglo-American contexts. It explores the reasons for a steady increase in Jewish interest in Jesus since the end of the eighteenth century, arguing that this growth had a strategic goal: the justification of Judaism as a living faith alongside Christianity.
