"I am in fundamental agreement with Bibliowicz's thesis (that the anti-Jewish polemic in the NT reflects debates between Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus - not a polemic between Christians and Jews), and with the implications which he has drawn for Christian theology... May this book find a wide readership among people devoted to the cause of the healing of memories between Jews and Christians." -Professor Peter C. Phan, Chair of Catholic Social Thought, Georgetown University; President of the Catholic Theological Society of America "An important work... Sensitive and deeply researched... In the deepest sense, a profound theological work." -Professor Clark M. Williamson, Christian Theological Seminary, Indiana; author of Way of Blessing, Way of Life: A Christian Theology ..". standing on a brilliant and insightful reconstruction of Paul, and a quite shocking (but perhaps compelling) reading of Mark ... the author offers a number of original and, in some cases, quite compelling theoretical reconstructions of the context and purposes of early Christian texts... a work of sublime moral passion" -David P. Gushee, Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director, Center for Theology and Public Life, Mercer University; "An intrepid excursion into the Christian discourse... The quest of an intellectual, a humanist... Interesting and, in fact overwhelming... A timely and honest engagement of the Christian texts, authors, and scholars by a Jewish intellectual." -Burton L. Mack, - Professor of Early Christianity, Claremont School of Theology, California "I very much appreciated the depth and scope of the scholarship, accompanied by the kind and humble spirit of the author...it may also prove to be one of the formidable and formative scholarly contributions of the decade for both biblical and historical scholars. " -Professor Michael Thompson Religious Studies Professor - Oklahoma State University "Impressive work... With this impassioned study available to us, it will no longer be possible for us to ignore the unintended ways the unthinkable came to be and still say 'we did not know.'" -Professor Didier Pollefeyt, Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium "An original and plausible claim that goes beyond most of modern scholarship... a solid contribution to the study of anti-Judaism in early Christianity." -Professor Joseph B. Tyson, Religious Studies, Southern Methodist University "A significant contribution to our understanding of the Christian-Jewish relationship in the first centuries of the Common Era." -Professor John T. Pawlikowski, Director, Catholic-Jewish Studies Program, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago "Mr. Bibliowicz's book will challenge all readers to reexamine their foundational religious narratives as to how they regard 'the other.' And this exercise may be as painful as it is necessary." -Rev. Michael McGarry, C. S. P. President, The Paulist Fathers "A detailed and insightful exploration of the writings of the early Jesus movement... argues convincingly that the origins of Christian anti-Judaism are to be found among early non-Jewish followers of Jesus who were in conflict with Jesus's disciples and first followers... a must read." -Tim Hegedus, Professor of New Testament, Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada "A meticulous study... a mammoth endeavor... goes beyond others in his interpretation of the evidence, tracing and documenting distinctions and tensions in the early Jesus movement." -N. A. Beck, Professor of Theology and Classical Languages, Texas Lutheran University
