Purchase options and add-ons

Dr. Rosmarin's popularly written yet authoritative volume forthrightly analyzes the basic differences between Judaism and Christianity. She maintains that there is an inherent conflict between the basic views of these mother/daughter religions, a conflict that cannot be resolved but that must be understood. Among the subjects addressed are miracles, sin and atonement, faith versus law, Free Will versus Original Sin, asceticism, and the place of Jesus in Jewish thinking. Available on Demand and in Kindle, Nook, and other popular eBook formats.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dr. Weiss-Rosmarin's book is a very important volume. It deserves a wide reading by both Christians and Jews."

--Jewish Social Studies


"True to its title, this book contains a succinct statement of what it is in the essential Christian faith that a scholarly Jew does not accept."

--The New York Times


"It is refreshing to have a Jewish scholar write so frankly about 'the eternal and fundamental differences between Judaism and Christianity.' Such a discussion, motivated by a desire for truth and clarity and characterized by factual statement and scholarly restraint, is much needed these days."

--The Protestant


"This book cannot be recommended too highly to those who are deeply and essentially, not only formally and superficially, interested in Jewish-Christian understanding and rapprochement."

--The Humanist

I learned a lot from this excellent book, and that means something from a 67-year-old. The author goes into great detail on all the major, irreconcilable differences between Judaism and Christianity. Each of the 8 chapters covers a different area of disagreement from Christianity not being pure monotheism to Christianity’s reliance on miracles. Be forewarned: Trude Weiss-Rosmarin does not mince words; she calls them as she sees them.

Some of the things you will learn by reading this extensive work:
- Why Jesus will never be considered a prophet, teacher, or rabbi (let alone The Messiah) in Judaism
- The antidote to sin according to Judaism versus Christianity
- Why Christianity is not democratic
- The importance of The Covenant in both religions
- The vastly different attitudes towards faith

If you are looking for ways to blur the differences between Judaism and Christianity, this is not the book for you. In the author's view, and mine, Judaism and Christianity have very little in common and should be regarded as such.

This book, even when has been written more than 70years ago is an excellent resource for every Jew (or Christian) that want to identify the differences between these two religions.

This book presented a clear and engaging look at the fundamental differences between these two faith traditions. I really enjoyed it, though Christian readers should note that the author has a clear bias towards Judaism (which is freely admitted within the book), and this book does not sugarcoat those opinions, as in it is very clear when the author believes that Judaism is superior to Christianity in some regard. As a Jew, I found it refreshing, given the wealth of literature on the subject where jewish writers censor themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2013

This book is very straight forward and doesn't try to soft-pedal the differences between the two. Unlike the books that try to walk a very fine line so that Christians' feelings aren't hurt, Dr.Weiss-Rosmarin points out the deep, deep divide than can never be blurred or ignored. A great book. I have given away several copies.
