Reviews

"""Dr. Weiss-Rosmarin's book is a very important volume. It deserves a wide reading by both Christians and Jews."" --Jewish Social Studies ""True to its title, this book contains a succinct statement of what it is in the essential Christian faith that a scholarly Jew does not accept."" --The New York Times ""It is refreshing to have a Jewish scholar write so frankly about 'the eternal and fundamental differences between Judaism and Christianity.' Such a discussion, motivated by a desire for truth and clarity and characterized by factual statement and scholarly restraint, is much needed these days."" --The Protestant ""This book cannot be recommended too highly to those who are deeply and essentially, not only formally and superficially, interested in Jewish-Christian understanding and rapprochement."" --The Humanist"
