Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus: New Testament Objections
"The New Testament is full of historical inaccuracies.""The Gospels portray a mythical Jesus.""Jesus was a false prophet."Jewish people commonly raise objections to Christianity based on the New Testament. In the fourth volume of his highly regarded series, Michael Brown explains the Christian response to thirty-four such objections. He addresses questions about issues such as how the New Testament quotes and interprets the Old Testament, the historical accuracy of the New Testament, apparent contradictions in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament, pagan influences on Christian teachings, and whether Jesus abolished the TorahWith detailed responses based on careful research of the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic texts, and the New Testament, Brown thoroughly and respectfully answers these objections and invites Jewish seekers to consider the possibility that the new covenant they have been waiting for is already here."This is a wonderful resource for study of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism."--Darrell Bock, research professor of New Testament studies and professor of spiritual development and culture, Dallas Theological Seminary"There is no other contemporary resource like this, and it will no doubt be useful in countering not just Jewish objections but the objections of so many other skeptics and naysayers of the New Testament."--David Brickner, executive director, Jews for Jesus"Brown's answers to objections are carefully thought out, honest, and well researched. His work provides a useful model on how to do apologetics for all who are interested in articulating and defending the Christian faith"--Craig Keener, professor of New Testament studies, Palmer Theological Seminary of Eastern University
