Unrepentantly Jewish, Sandel nonetheless embraces the Jesus of history, redefining what He means to modern Judaism (albeit in a relative sense - Sandel believed that the Gospel accounts contain elements added to the historical truth and thus obfuscate what he believes is the core truth). But this is not an attempt to distance Christianity from Judaism, but rather to make Christians feel good about their faith, from the viewpoint of that which forms the root of our faith, the Jewish traditions. The author covers much ground, giving information about both Christian anti-Semitic literature alongside Jewish anti-Christian literature as well as collecting pertinent themes and quotes from a wide range (mostly liberal and/or neo-orthodox) of both Jewish and Christian sources.
