5.0 out of 5 stars A guide to help Christians better understand Judaism, June 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Judeo-Christian Tradition: A Guide for the Perplexed (Hardcover)

This is a comprehensive yet difficult book. In it, Gary North painstakingly details how modern Judaism is based more on the writings of the Talmud and the Mishna than it is on the writings contained in what Christians refer to as the Old Testament. Many Christians will no doubt be shocked at some of what is contained in the Talmud, while many people of the Jewish faith may become defensive (as well as quite possibly shocked themselves). While much has been made lately of the inflammitory rhetoric found in the Koran (and in that regard I highly recommend the book "Why I am Not a Muslim"), virtually no mention has been made of the equally inflammitory materials found in the Talmud. The fact is, all three religious traditions have their darker moments, and Judaism is no exception. This book will hopefully add to the dialogue between Christians and Jews. I would say, as difficult as the book is, it is a must-read.
