Synopsis

What the Talmud is and how it relates to Jesus and early Christians This volume surveys how the Talmud has been read, interpreted, and even challenged by scholars and commentators. It shows how Jewish sources have treated Christian claims, beliefs, and practices, and what modern readers can learn about the record and the debates surrounding it.

The book presents editions, translations, and textual notes that shape how the Talmud is understood today. It also explores topics such as astrology, amulets, and demons, and it discusses how later readers have defended or criticized the Talmud’s contents. It offers context for readers who want to understand how these ancient texts relate to broader religious history and interfaith dialogue.
