Synopsis

Excerpt from Jesus in the Talmud: His Personality, His Disciples, and His Sayings

The importance of the utterances in the Tal mud concerning Jesus must not be misunderstood and still less must they be over-estimated. We therefore call the reader''s attention to the fact that they are not based on contemporary evi dence and thus possess no historical value. They are the expression of a non-christian spirit mostly hostile and sometimes positively offen sive.

In extenuation of the Talmud we must say, first, that the animosity between Jew and Gen tile is deep and mutual. When the Gentile blames the Jew for wrong thinking, the Jew may equally blame the Gentile for wrong doing, for the Jew has had to suffer persecution of the cruelest kind.

Further we must bear in mind that the Tal mud is not one book with a consistent tendency, but a collection of innumerable writings, essays, anecdotes, and what not. Side by side with noble and deep thoughts we find worthless gossip. On account of the latter we must not forget the for mer and therewith depreciate the entire Talmud.

For these reasons we wish the reader to use the present pamphlet with discretion and to bear in mind the conditions existing in the age in which these utterances concerning Jesus were written. The author has collected and collated them for serious study of the facts in the case. They are material for the scholar and must not in any sense be considered as popular reading.
