Representations of Jesus in Jewish Thought from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages

Catalog description

Explores the various ways Jesus has been represented in Jewish sources from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages. Particular interest will be paid to complex interface of the two faiths and the polemical attempts to draw sharp lines distinguishing them. The investigation of the status of alterity will be a key factor in determining the boundaries and the convergence and divergence of the Jewish and Christian portraits of Jesus.
