`A handy text book that will raise questions in students' minds and will hopefully bring them to consider further the complex relationship of Judaism and Christianity''The work succeeds admirably in whetting the appetite of the reader and encouraging him to pursue comparative studies. Students of Rabbinic Judaism and of early Christianity will find this book to be a stimulating and informative resource.' - The Expository Times
