Aside from the Messiah: Distinguishing Judaism from Christianity

By Michael Derfler

People commonly assert that the main difference between Judaism and Christianity lay in competing ideas about the messiah. Actually, this is just the tip of the iceberg signaling very different senses of meaning and motivation about life. This collection of short essays shows that separating the two religions is not simply the idea of the messiah, but two totally different worldviews. Inspired by a need for deeper understanding, the book discusses fundamental issues of life and society from a unique perspective. It is for anyone seeking to better understand Judaism and the Jewish nation. It is also for Christians who appreciate the value of having their faith challenged. There is also something here for atheists."Every so often a book comes along that has us rethink the very core of our belief system. The author has tackled fundamental issues in a brilliant and thought-provoking way. An important read " - Rabbi Gadi Levy, Congregation Ahavath Achim, Portland, Oregon
