readings in the intersecting histories of Judaism and Christianity

Edición de la obra Trading places sourcebook

The Trading Places Sourcebook provides the critical passages from primary sources within Christian and Judaic traditions. Professors Chilton and Neusner also provide helpful commentaries to set the context for and significance of these sources. This sourcebook is meant to accompany Trading Places, which turns on its head the usual scholarly consensus that early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism run parallel. These two great traditions, argue Bruce Chilton and Jacob Neusner, intersected and ultimately traded places during the first four centuries of the Common Era. In this, the authors offer a bold new way of interpreting Western religious history.
