Summary
New Testament professor Amy-Jill Levine’s career has been dedicated to helping Christians and Jews understand the “Jewishness” of Jesus, so appreciation of Him is deepened and a greater interfaith dialogue can take place as a result. In The Misunderstood Jew, Levine shows how Christians misunderstand Judaism in general, misunderstand the New Testament in particular, and thus yank Jesus out of his Jewish context—resulting in the intolerance (and sometimes outright hatred) of Jews.
