Jews and Christian share the same holy book—the Tanakh or “Old Testament.” But they have been arguing about its correct interpretation ever since the rise of Christianity. In this class we will examine how and when Jewish Bible commentaries argue against Christian teachings and readings of the biblical text. We will begin our studies with a few passages in the Talmud and then move on to the great Jewish Bible commentators of later years, including Rashi, Rashbam, Ramban, Radak, Abarbanel and others.
