Jesus Im Talmud (in German)
Schafer, Peter ; Schafer, Barbara
Synopsis "Jesus Im Talmud (in German)"
English summary: This is a thorough investigation of the passages about Jesus in the rabbinic literature, mainly in the Babylonian Talmud. In his lucid and accessible book, Peter Schafer examines how the rabbis read and used the New Testament to assert Judaism's superiority over Christianity. The Talmudic texts focus on the virgin birth of Jesus, his behavior as a bad and frivolous disciple, his teachings, the healing capacities Jesus and his disciples possessed, the execution of Jesus and his disciples, and finally his punishment forever in hell. The center of this critique of Jesus and his fate was Babylonia under Sassanian rule, quite in contrast to Palestinian Judaism, which was increasingly threatened by the dominant power of Christianity. German description: "Schafer ist eine umfassende und uberzeugende Darstellung der talmudischen Wahrnehmung Jesu gelungen." Christoph Stenschke in Theologische Beitrage 45 (2014), S. 118-119 "[Ein] hochst lesenswertes und spannendes Buch, das zu weiteren Forschungen und Uberlegungen reichen Anlass bietet." Werner Trutwin in Freiburger Rundbrief 20 (2013), S. 224-226 "Mir ist dieses kenntnisreiche und spannend geschriebene Buch eine grosse Hilfe geworden. Ausserst grundlich arbeitet es ubergangene Zusammenhange auf und ist damit aus meiner Sicht eine wichtige und hilfreiche Bereicherung fur das judisch-christliche Gesprach, das in unserer Zeit zu neuer Offenheit findet." Hans-Helmar Auel in Homiletische Monatshefte 90 (2014/15), Heft 4, S. 199
