As a Christian lay minister (Church of England) I found this challenging and compelling, but an absolute delight. Challenging because although the authors do their level best to be plain spoken, much of the Jewish terminology was new to me. In the early chapters I had to go back and re-read something, some things several times. Compelling because it was great to see the whole Bible (old and new testaments in Christian-speak) from this new perspective, and to understand how the Jewish bible is understood and interpreted in Judaism - especially the rich entanglement of the Tanakh and the Talmud, terms entirely new to me. Makes me almost wish to have been a thelogian! What we need now is a similar treatise that includes Islam - sadly not yet a feasible prospect. "In an age where polemics and talking past one another is common, the appeal to respectful interpretation and dialogue is refreshing and helpful. Perhaps it is not too much to expect that we see ourselves as others see us or see our sacred texts as others see them. Highly recommended." -- Dr. Ben Witherington, III, Amos Professor of NT for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary “Incisive and accessible in content and welcoming in tone, the book express very well a point I sought to convey throughout my career: ‘The more one knows of Israel’s scripture, the more meaningful the New Testament becomes.’” -- Christian Century “Impeccable . . . remarkable, accessible.” -- Publishers Weekly “Jews and Christians read the Bible with different histories, interpretations, contexts, and emphases. How can the two understand each other better? No two persons are better suited to answer this question than Brettler and Levine. It requires expertise in the Bible itself and in the history of interpretation. These two respected scholars bring that dual expertise with style, clarity, wit, and visible honesty. They replace ignorance with mutual respect and replace polemics with possibilities. Truly a book for everyone.” -- Richard Elliott Friedman, author of The Exodus and Who Wrote the Bible? nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The editors of The Jewish Annotated New Testament show how and why Jews and Christians read many of the same Biblical texts - including passages from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Psalms - differently. Exploring and explaining these diverse perspectives, they reveal more clearly Scripture's beauty and power. Esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and Christians, over time, understood those same texts. Passages include the creation of the world, the role of Adam and Eve, the Suffering Servant of Isiah, the book of Jonah, and Psalm 22, whose words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me," Jesus quotes as he dies on the cross. Comparing various interpretations - historical, literary, and theological - of each ancient text, Levine and Brettler offer deeper understandings of the original narratives and their many afterlives. They show how the text speaks to different generations under changed circumstances, and so illuminate the Bible's ongoing significance. By understanding the depth and variety by which these passages have been, and can be, understood, The Bible With and Without Jesus does more than enhance our religious understandings, it helps us to see the Bible as a source of inspiration for any and all readers.

Comparando as várias interpretações históricas, literárias e teológicas de cada texto antigo, Levine e Brettler oferecem compreensões mais aprofundadas das narrativas originais e de seus desdobramentos posteriores. Os autores demonstram como o texto fala a diferentes gerações sob novas circunstâncias, revelando, assim, de forma nítida, a beleza e o poder das Escrituras. Ao compreender a profundidade e a diversidade com que essas passagens foram e podem ser entendidas, A Bíblia com e sem Jesus faz muito mais do que aprimorar nossas compreensões religiosas: ajuda-nos a ver a Bíblia como fonte de inspiração para todo e qualquer leitor.
