Description: In this provocative follow-up to his enormously influential A Rabbi Talks with Jesus, Jacob Neusner challenges the apostle Paul to debate the true meaning and significance of Judaism.

Drawing new boundaries for Jewish-Christian dialogue, Neusner contends that Paul's misinterpretation of Judaism - a misinterpretation perpetuated today by many Christians and Jews - has resulted in the widespread perception of Judaism as "ethnic" and "particular," and Christianity as "universal." Yet as Neusner clearly demonstrates, just as Christianity presents an option to all of God's faithful, so too does Judaism's mediation of the voice of God at Sinai echo across the entire world.
