Böcker av Rabbi Walter Homolka

After centuries of persecution, oppression, forced migrations, and exclusion in the name of Christ, the development of a Jewish "e;Quest for the Historical Jesus"e; might seem unexpected. This book gives an overview and analysis of the various Jewish perspectives on the Nazarene throughout the centuries, emphasizing the variety of German voices in Anglo-American contexts. It explores the reasons for a steady increase in Jewish interest in Jesus since the end of the eighteenth century, arguing that this growth had a strategic goal: the justification of Judaism as a living faith alongside Christianity.

In today''s world of unrest, we need shared ethical will, moral force and energy among the world''s religious traditions. Shows how the overarching message of Judaism-just action as a guiding religious principle-holds a key in the pursuit of universal peace.
