An excellent breakdown of the differences between Post-exilic Judaism and Christianity in the terms of Matthew's Jesus and the exposition of the Torah. Parts of the book aren't going to be convincing to non-Jews, but Neusner isn't aiming for that. Neusner's exposition of Judaism of the Talmuds into modern Judaism does show the fundamental differences in reading the Torah, but I must admit that perhaps it would be easier if Rabbi Neusner had stuck to the grounds of Judaism that were shared at the..more

I truly enjoyed this book even though I disagree with Neusner's conclusions (as he would have wanted me to).
Pros:I enjoyed the conversational style in which this book was written. For me, the most valuable take-away from this book is the Jewish perspective written by, as the book description says, 'the world's preeminent authority on first century Judaism'. I have often heard something to the tune of, 'a first century Jew would have understood Jesus' words to mean . . . ' However, with Neusner,..more

This is a fascinating, illuminating, frustrating, and (for me a) melancholy book. The author, a rabbi, addresses Jesus using the most Jewish of gospels, the book of Matthew. Since Matthew's gospel focuses on Jesus' relationship with the Torah, Rabbi Neusner addresses Jesus on that basis, the Torah being the common ground of both Judaism and Christianity. This is not a contentious book, nor is it any sort of polemic. Instead, it is a respectful examination of the claims of Jesus. Surprisingly, th..more

Neusner does a good job handling this discourse without being a bully. His purpose is to demonstrate why he, as a Jew, would not follow Jesus.
He says--over and over--how he respects Jesus but could not follow him, and that he doesn't want to harm either Jews or Christians in their faith. He does this by outlining the situation and leaving one variable a variable: Christs divinity. He shows how Christ was in conflict with the Torah and how he was seeking to replace it, which the Jews couldn't acc..more

It arrived today; I wish I didn't have class tonight and so much other reading to do. Should I play hooky? No, not skip class, but read this instead of doing my assigned reading? The author places himself within the Gospel of Matthew, not my favorite evangelist but what matter, Jesus is there.

Rabbi Neusner offers a fascinating take on Jesus from the perspective of a practicing Jew who would have encountered Jesus in the first century. At the outset, Neusner helpfully articulates the need for dialogue, conversation, and disagreement as a means of showing respect to other human beings. Thus, his argument with Jesus should not be taken in a mean-spirited fashion. And indeed, Neusner goes out of his way to offer respectful disagreements with a teacher who he believes clearly has a teachi..more

I am a little disappointed with this read. It has been claimed many times as an essential Jewish refutation of the messiahship of Jesus, when In fact it was a single presupposition manifested over and over again. That presupposition being 'Jesus claimed to be God, and no man can be God'. At the foundation of every argument, or rather every 'encounter' between the author and the Jesus he describes found in the book of St. Matthew, he walks away supposedly choosing Torah over Christ. There is unfo..more

Essentially, this books is about how Jesus lies when he said that he came to fulfill the Torah because he clearly encourages his followers to violate its commandments. Given that the book was supposed to offer a dialogue with Jesus from the perspective of one of his contemporary Jews, I found the actual 'dialogues' sparse and unsatisfactory. For one thing, the contemporary Jew was always gifted with precognition (one day, rabbis would answer this question with this story..) and Jesus always see..more

Sheds light on what is Judaism other than not Christianity, or other than a foil for Christian apologists. Not a polemic! See the Pope's response in his 2007 book Jesus of Nazareth. And listen to an NPR radio interview, also from 2007, in which Neusner replies:

an excellent dialogue, gives one much to think about the dichotomy between God's kingdom to come in the Gospels, and the kingdom of God in the here and now, which from the Authors point of view is the kingdom of the Torah.

An excellent book although unsatisfactory - four stars right away. Rabbi attempts to speak to Rabbi, synagogue to synagogue. This then is dialogue: the peaceable recognition of the impasse between Christianity and Judaism, which the author himself declares clearly to be the person of Christ. The question in the end is about authority which, for the Christian, belongs to Christ and, to the Jew, belongs to the Torah. It is nice that this is made so very clear in a book of this size. I was rather s..more

Jews! Once upon a time on 7th Heaven, the oldest son converted for his girlfriend, and once, on Sex and the City, Charlotte converted for sexy old Harry. How do they do it? What do Christians have in common with Jews? What don't they? How does this actually play out in practice versus how it looks in theological differences?
This book almost got to the heart of these matters. It was a conversation between the word of the Torah and the words of Jesus' lower-case torah in the Gospel of Matthew (the..more

A great work written to Jews and Christians alike stands alongside Cost of Discipleship in terms of its ability to convey the radical nature of Christ�s message (and person). As this book is written by a faithful and wise Jew who has clearly pondered the words of Christ much more carefully than many Christian pastors, Christians are cautioned when deciding whether or not to read this title. Neusner introduces us to Jesus in his Second Temple Jewish context and will not allow readers to walk away..more

Jacob Neusner explains why he has chosen not to follow Jesus, based on statements that Jesus made, as recorded in the book of Matthew. My understanding of his overall conclusion is that Jesus speaks of salvation and the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jesus' torah), but Neusner believes that God commands Israel to obey in the 'here and now' (through the Torah from Mt Sinai and Moses), and that they are to be holy in the conduct their daily lives. Neusner is not convinced by Jesus' claims and co..more

This is a compelling and challenging book. Neusner can tell a good story and teach a great lesson. He argues that Jesus and Judaism ultimate say different things when it comes to God and life. According to Rabbi Neusner Jesus preaches salvation in the future while the Torah teaches sanctification in the here and now. Therefore an effective argument regarding God and life cannot be had. I don't agree with Neusner in much of this book when he speaks to Jesus but he does say much about Jesus that I..more

A thoughtful if sometimes difficult to read explanation for why the author, a highly respected Orthodox rabbi, would have rejected Jesus' message. His rejection rests on several key reasons: Jesus addresses the personal 'I' while the Torah addresses the Israelite 'we'; Jesus instructs his followers to be perfect rather than the Torah's injunction to be holy; and Jesus focuses on being clean and sin-free in preparation for the imminent Kingdom of God, while Torah teaches people to sanctify their..more

This is a fascinating look into the life and teachings of Jesus from a Jewish perspective. It has often been suggested that Jesus was just a 'good teacher' with a high moral code who never claimed to be anything more than a normal human being but was misunderstood by his followers - and especially later on by the apostle Paul - who invented the idea that he was God's son. Jacob Neusner shows that pretty well everything Jesus said and did would have been interpreted by the Jews of his day as bein..more

as a near-convert to orthodox judaism who decided instead to be confirmed a catholic, I can't stand this book. I read it for a literature of religion class and feel that neusner misses the key arguments that describe why Jews reject Jesus, or the key purpose intended in Jesus' very pointed political statements on things like family and the Sabbath. He doesn't understand the essence of either religion beyond the social level to the spiritual. Furthermore, some of his arguments make false accusati..more

Here's a great book for those who want to understand Orthodox Judaism and it's response to Jesus. Rabbi Neusner interacts with the Jesus of the Gospel as though he were encountering Jesus in the 1st century. He gives an Orthodox reason for why Jews shouldn't follow him. Essentially, to follow Jesus is to reject the One True God and His Torah. Both Orthodox Jew and Christian will be able to appreciate this.

Neushner explains why he has chosen not to follow Jesus based on passages in Matthew. He deals with Jesus opinion of the Torah and produces his opinion that Jesus was against the Torah. This is a great book for Disscussion. Kind of confusing if you are not up to speed with Some Jewish beliefs, but this is a great book for a discussion group.
Sep 14, 2014Sue rated it really liked it · review of another edition
An unusual & thoughtful book. Neusner imagines he was living in the Galilee around the time of Jesus & could actually engage Jesus in discussion, as he argues which parts of Jesus' teachings he, as an observant Jew, could & could not accept.

Description of the book 'A Rabbi Talks with Jesus':
Imagine yourself transported two thousand years back in time to Galilee at the moment of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. After hearing it, would you abandon your religious beliefs and ideology to follow him, or would you hold on to your own beliefs and walk away? In 'A Rabbi Talks with Jesus', Jacob Neusner considers just such a spiritual journey. Placing himself within the context of the Gospel of Matthew, Neusner imagines himself in a dialogue with Jesus of Nazareth and pays him the supreme Judaic gesture of respect: making a connection with him through an honest debate about the nature of PDF God's One Truth. Neusner explains why the Sermon on the Mount would not have convinced him to follow Jesus and why, by the criterion of the Torah of Moses, he would have continued to follow the teachings of Moses. He explores the reasons Christians believe in Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven, while Jews continue to believe in the Torah of Moses and a kingdom of priests and holy people on earth. This revised and expanded edition, with a foreword by Donald Akenson, creates a thoughtful and accessible context for discussion of the most fundamental question ePub of why Christians and Jews believe what they believe.Reviews of the A Rabbi Talks with Jesus
