New York: The MacMillan Company, 1943. First American Edition. Hardcover. xvi, 624 pages. Index. Translated from Hebrew. Author was a prominent Jewish scholar who wrote this work to complement his earlier book "Jesus of Nazareth". Deals with the events, historical, religious, and intellectual, which occured from the time of Jesus to the end of the days of Paul the Apostle. Claims Jesus never intended to found a new religion and spread it among the Gentiles. Offers explanations of how Christianity was separated from Judaism, and why Judaism did not accept the teaching of Paul as it likewise did not accept the teaching of Jesus. - paraphrased from Author's Apology (Introduction).
