Book Summary : 

Few Christians - including the theologically sophisticated - have ever reflected on how deeply his Jewishness affected Jesus. Robert Aron, in this sensitive and unusual book, has succeeded in redressing that Christian oversight of so many centuries. More than the Hebrew scriptures are involved. Texts from these abound in the New Testament, and Christians have come, rather belatedly, to recognize the unbreakable continuity between the writings holy to the Hebrews and their own sacred scriptures. "The Jewish Jesus" is a haunting book, which the reader will long remember.
