Abstract

134 | The thesis of Boyarin's analytical study is that the early Church Fathers and Councils hijacked ancient Israelite/Jewish ideas such as the dual Father/Son godhead and suffering Redeemer. and read a post-Jesus Gentile/ Christian creed, deed, and screed into the Jewish scriptures (Hebrew Bible and New Testament). End objective: Jews, start separating text from testimony and cease your appalling ignorance of the greatest story ever veiled; that is to say, the Jewish Gospels is philo-Torah not anti-Judaism Christian, know that to love the Lord Jesus is to acknowledge his way and teachings of and about and not over Torah. The result a bold step forward to eliminate Christian negativity towards the Jewish people. In sum, the chapters by Boyarin and Schäfer are pedantic scholarship in reader-friendly language (for the most part) to interweave Judaism and Christianity as sibling religions. As such, they are a welcome repository of scriptural and midrashic discussion, disputation, and decision on keeping Jesus within Judaism and maintaining respectfully where Jews and Christian differ. and concur.
