Jesus and the Jews

- Abstract

THE JEWS have always been immensely suspicious of Christianity, both as a religion and for the effects on them of Christian societies; but their feelings about Jesus have been more ambivalent. If much that was tragic for them was done-to some extent-in his name, he himself was not always held responsible. Even to those kept away from the New Testament by a massive wall of fear and ignorance, there was a sense that Jesus was a Jewish teacher who had somehow taken the wrong path.
