Kosher Jesus

Jerusalem and New York: Gefen Publishing House, 2011. Second Printing. Hardcover. Like New. 99x14x141. Kosher Jesus is a project of more than six years research and writing. The book seeks to offer to Jews and Christians the real story of Jesus, a wholly observant, Pharisaic Rabbi who fought Roman paganism and oppression and was killed for it. While many Christians will be confused by its assertion that Jesus never claimed divinity and not only did not abrogate the Torah but observed every letter of the Law, they will find comfort in my tracing most of Jesus principal teachings back to Jewish sources, this before he was stripped of his Jewishness by later writers who sought to portray him as an enemy of his people. This is especially true of Jesus' most famous oration, the Sermon on the Mount, which is a reformulation of the Torah he studied and to which he was committed. Pictorial cloth with matching pictorial dust jacket. No writing in the book. xxii, 241pp., index. Full refund if not satisfied.
