Ebook: The Jew and the Christian Missionary: A Jewish Response to Missionary Christianity

Sigal's book is the most comprehensive examination to date of Christian claims that the Hebrew Bible is full of prophecies about Jesus. Every major 'prooftext' is analyzed in light of context, translation and interpretation and contrasted with the traditional Jewish interpretation. Of particular value is that Sigal is not merely an apologist, attempting to refute Christian claims vis-a-vis the Jewish scriptures. In the second part of the book Sigal moves from a defensive postition to examine problems in the New Testament accounts, an approach not often found among Jewish writers on the subject.

Though he brings with him with a healthy dose of righteous indignation at the way Christian missionaries have expropriated and distorted Jewish symbols and concepts, Sigal writes with great warmth and considerable wit.

All in all, this is the best book in English on the subject
