Abstract

"The foundational texts for the believing Christian are the books authored by the disciples of Jesus called the Gospels. They, by virtue of their attributed source, are invested with an authority and sanctity unparalleled in the Christian tradition. ... The underlying question of my investigation can be articulated rather pedestrianly: Is the source of 'good news' for the Christian the same source of 'bad news' for the Jew?"
