Rabbi AND New Testament Scholar!

"...a distillation of the late Rabbi Phillip Segal's scholarship of a lifetime evidencing the mastery of a literature which stretches over the millenia, and the ability to analyze and to synthesize some very complicated spiritual and intellectual phenomena in a manner which can be easily understood." -- Jakob M. Petuchowski Comprehensive historical and thematic survey... shows how Judaism has always been a dynamic and pluralistic relgion with a common core of faith, having adapted to the zeitgeist of varying cultures throughout history. Sigal's perspective as both a rabbi AND A NEW TESTAMENT SCHOLAR illuminates the Jewish matrix which gave birth to Christianity, and his analysis, including some original intepretations, explores both the tension and the ongoing interaction between the two faiths.
