Baker Publishing Group Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus General and Historical Objections (4, 2000) | Michael L. Brown

What kind of answers hold fast in Jewish Christian apologetics? Answers that are fair. Answers that are detailed. And above all, answers that respond to actual objections. In the first of three volumes of Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Michael Brown provides defensible answers. He addresses the same arguments that arise in his dialogue and debate with friends, rabbis, and anti-missionaries. Some objections include: * "I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew." * "I won't betray my ancestors." * "If Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, why isn't there peace on earth?" * "Christians have always hated and persecuted the Jewish people!" Brown knows all about such objections. At age sixteen, he discovered Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, and it changed his life. Called to defend his new faith, Brown went on to master Hebrew, earning his Ph.D. in Semitic languages. In the past decades he has established himself as a leading Jewish Christian apologist. Brown brings together his learning and his love for his people to answer thirty-five commonly heard objections. He provides believers and seekers alike with honest, spiritually focused answers, thoroughly documented with notes.
