The Resurrection of Jesus: A Jewish Perspective

The book presents a compelling argument for the resurrection of Jesus as a historical event rather than a mere community invention. Pinchas Lapide, a rabbi and theologian, explores the New Testament's accounts, asserting that a core experience supports the resurrection narrative despite its contentious details. He emphasizes that the belief in life after death is integral to Jewish faith, while distinguishing Jesus' messiahship as the key divergence between Christianity and Judaism, citing the influential thoughts of Moses Maimonides to bolster his perspective.
