Revelation
Book Description
In this thoughtful exploration of two foundational religious traditions, Jacob Neusner presents a meaningful dialogue between Judaism and Christianity that goes far beyond surface-level comparisons. Rather than glossing over fundamental differences, this work embraces the profound disagreements between these faith systems while seeking to understand the underlying logic of each tradition.
The book centers on a fascinating conversation between the Torah and its comprehensive interpretation in the Talmud of Babylonia, representing Judaism's complete expression of divine will, and the Christian Bible encompassing both Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament along with early church interpretations. This approach allows readers to witness how each tradition understands revelation and divine authority.
What makes this work particularly valuable is its honest intellectual approach. The authors remain committed to their respective traditions while genuinely attempting to grasp the rationality behind differing viewpoints. This creates an authentic interfaith dialogue that respects both the distinctiveness and the complexity of each religious system.
As the first volume in a three-part series examining the core theological categories of Torah, God, and Israel in Judaism alongside Bible, God, and church in Christianity, this book offers readers a substantial foundation for understanding how these two great traditions approach divine revelation. For anyone seeking to deepen their comprehension of Judaism and Christianity and their intricate relationship, this resource provides both scholarly depth and accessible insight.
