I saw this book in the Judaica section at Barnes & Noble, and glanced through before I put it back in the Christian Fiction section. I actually have the first book, and this one is built on the same techniques-Talmud, and rabbinic mysticism and speculation is used to produce "proofs" or real issues are cleverly sidestepped.
For example, he makes a point about how Christianity is claimed to be otherworldy (due to its gnostic and dualist tendencies), "anti-flesh" by talking about Christian hospitals and charity work, etc. But this is not Christian work--it is humanitarian work. It just takes cosmic bugaboos to scare Christians into treating other humans decently.
The use of Talmud and obscure rabbinic literature, etc., is the same approach that Christians tried in the renaissance. This literature is very interpretive and can be manipulated into almost any conclusion. Meanwhile, Christians have criticized such literature as spurious, slanderous, and ridiculous for centuries. In the same way, brown (in the first book) looks at pagan literature and scriptural passages where some of these pagan tendencies were absorbed by Israelites to defend the same type of paganism that created Christianity.
The other reviewer was correct. Only secularized Jews or mercenary Jews (ignorant of scripture or those who might convert for a mate) are likely to consider the ridiculous claims of Christianity.
If you are interested in the "Jewish Problem" spend your money to support the religious right's efforts toward the nazification of the United States. Why convert people through dialogue when you can legislate their choices in faith in a republican government, grow Christians through the "public" education system (with Christian fundamentalist school boards and duh coach history teacher), denying economic opportunities to us "Christ killers", and marginalizing non-Christians through every means available?
We hear about "messianic Jews" (Is that something like a Muslim Jew?) and are led to believe that Jews are apostacizing from God in droves. But there is a growing disillusionment among Christians, and people like Tovia Singer (and myself to a much much lesser degree) talk to Christians on a regular basis who are considering Judaism. They are usually lifelong church Christians who have gone beyond the emotional rants and have studied their faith and found it lacking concerning God, and that Christianity does not represent even Jesus' teachings. And Tovia Singer and others do not target or intend to provide an outreach to gentiles, nor do Jews spends millions of dollars to missionize gentiles like Christians do Jews---and still they come to us.
So if you are a Christian, this is a great book to convince you that the money you put in the offering plate and mr. brown's pocket to convert God's people into gentiles is not wasted.
Counter-missionaries (loyal Jews) read such books to refute missionary lies---but the people reading us are more often dissillusioned Christians than Jews. My current efforts have seen results among Latin Americans whose ancestors were force baptized, murdered in Christian auto da fes, and run out of Catholic Spain who are returning to God.
So mr. brown's book(s) are helpful. But Christians might do better reading them because most of them do not even know what their faith teaches or what they "believe." Many Christians do not believe in the trinity, original sin, nor do they understand these doctrines. We can refute every falsehood, but it helps to see them catalogued in order to systematically expose them---not for Jews, but for Christians leaving and considering leaving the "fold."
| | | | Essential! Dec 23, 2004 |
| This book is just plainly essential in my view to Jewish Evangelism. Remember we as Christians are to proclaim the good news to Jerusalem, and Judea, and to the ends of the earth...the first places are Jewish and we are commanded to share Jesus to the Jews FIRST and THEN to the Gentiles. This book is a great primer for carrying out the task commisioned to us as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach! | | | | Important book for Gentile Believers to Read as Well Dec 7, 2004 |
| I wanted to review this book from a slightly different angle. This book is about answering Jewish objections to Jesus, but in the process of doing this he explains a lot of concepts that are important irrespective of this debate. For examples, he goes into great detail about the trinity, Messiahship of Jesus, sonship of Jesus, etc. Topics that, quite frankly, very few people understand. This book is certainly the best presentation on these topics I have seen. So even if you don't know any Jewish people this is still a very worthwile book to read. | | | | Invaluable Resource Oct 8, 2004 |
Dr. Michael Brown's Answering Jewish Objections Trilogy needs to be on the bookshelf of every Messianic Jew, every Christian, every apologist and I highly recommend that even all non-believing Jews read this Trilogy, that they may see a comprehensive response to anti-missionaries, and Messianic beliefs accurately represented, that they may see who Yeshua (Jesus) truly is.
The extensive research, scholarship, and conversational style of writing in this book makes it perfect for the scholar to the lay-person.
The Answering Jewish Objections Trilogy is highly recommended! | | | Write your own review about Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus: Theological Objections Vol. 2
