Christ and the Jews
Overview
The Preface states, “. . . in this monograph the author clearly sets ancient and modern Jewish thought over against Christian thought and demonstrates that there can only be opposition between them when both are advocated from the standpoint of their respective ‘standards’ and presuppositions. . . The Christian who is concerned that his witness to the Jew be scripturally sound and honoring to his Lord will receive help. . . by the reading of Christ and the Jews.”
