The Jewish Gospels the story of the Jewish Christ

"In July 2008 a front-page story in the New York Times reported on the discovery of an ancient Hebrew tablet, dating from before the birth of Jesus, which predicted a Messiah who would rise from the dead after three days. Commenting on this startling discovery at the time, noted Talmud scholar Daniel Boyarin argued that 'some Christians will find it shocking--a challenge to the uniqueness of their theology.' Guiding us through a rich tapestry of new discoveries and ancient scriptures, The Jewish Gospels makes the powerful case that our conventional understandings of Jesus and of the origins of Christianity are wrong. In Boyarin's scrupulously illustrated account, the coming of the Messiah was fully imagined in the ancient Jewish texts. Jesus, moreover, was embraced by many Jews as this person, and his core teachings were not at all a break from Jewish beliefs and teachings. Jesus and his followers, Boyarin shows, were simply Jewish. What came to be known as Christianity came much later, as religious and political leaders sought to impose a new religious orthodoxy that was not present at the time of Jesus's life"--Provided by publisher.

  • "Nel luglio del 2008 il "New York Times" pubblicava in prima pagina la notizia del ritrovamento di un'antica tavola ebraica, risalente a prima della nascita di Cristo, che riportava una profezia: l'annuncio di un Messia che sarebbe risorto tre giorni dopo la morte. È solo uno dei tasselli con cui Daniel Boyarin, fra i più importanti talmudisti viventi, ci spiega perché la storia del Nazareno non rappresenta, come da secoli si ritiene, un momento di rottura con il senso religioso ebraico. L'idea di un'incolmabile scissione teologica tra cristiani ed ebrei, diffusa tanto da una parte quanto dall'altra, dimentica una natura comune profondamente e radicalmente unitaria. Gesù era un ebreo osservante, un ebreo che mangiava kosher. Si era presentato nel modo in cui molti ebrei si aspettavano che facesse il Messia: un essere divino incarnato in un corpo umano. All'epoca dei fatti, del resto, la questione non era "Giungerà il Messia?", ma solo "Questo falegname di Nazareth è Colui che aspettavamo?". Alcuni credettero di sì, altri di no, e oggi noi chiamiamo il primo gruppo cristiani e il secondo ebrei, anche se, in principio, le cose non stavano così. Operando una sorprendente rilettura del Nuovo Testamento e avvalendosi delle più recenti scoperte e delle Antiche Scritture, Il Vangelo ebraico risale alle origini di una divisione millenaria che oggi, secondo Boyarin, dobbiamo avere il coraggio di capire e superare, andando oltre le convenzionali semplificazioni della Storia."
