Country Western singer Kinky Friedman often performs a song entitled "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore," and New Testament professor Amy-Jill Levine would agree. In fact, her career is dedicated to helping Christians and Jews understand the Jewishness of Jesus, thereby deepening the understanding of him, and facilitating greater interfaith dialogue. In this book, she shows how liberal Christians misunderstand Judaism, misunderstand the New Testament, and thus yank Jesus out of his Jewish context and wind up promoting hatred of Jews. Only with the deeper understanding this top ...

"A talented writer tells of how the Jewish Jesus was remade and interpreted by the Christians. Easy to follow in some areas and a few areas I had to reread. Overall it was well worth the reread bits."
"Well written and informative. Levine doesn't want all Christians to forsake Christ,likewise she doesn't want all Jews to accept Jesus. What she wants is a dialogue and understand that what the church sometimes says (even though it doesn't mean it) comes off as anti-sematic. She also puts Jesus back in his historical context and explains how the jewish sect becomes a seprate gentile relgion."
"The author makes many valid points regarding the complicated relationship between Christians and Jews, and hammers home the idea that Christians often unwittingly (and sometimes purposely) behave in ways that are glaringly anti-Semitic to those paying attention. While I value the lessons in this book Ms. Levine is so prickly in her approach that the message sometimes gets lost. It is only in the final chapter that she dispenses with confrontation and accusation and gives the reader some practical advice for bringing the two sides together."
