Author Description

This book is the most complete and the most profound answer to Christian missionaries. The book analyzes not only the differences between the interpretations of Biblical prophecies about the Messiah but also the differences between the very concept of a “Messiah” in Judaism and Christianity. It also explores the doctrinal and fundamentally incompatible differences between the two religions. The question raised in the book’s title is examined from all possible perspectives. In contrast to other books on Christian-Judaism relationships, critical aspects are discussed in detail and are not smoothed over at all. This book also raises questions such as “What is the mission of the Jews in the world?” A separate chapter is devoted to the main differences between Christian morality and Jewish morality, and the imperfections of the former are pointed out. Farber also indicates that Christian theology after the Holocaust is, in fact, a theology that took root after the creation of the state of Israel. The book also traces the pagan roots of Christianity and shows the falsehood and artificiality of Judeo-Christianity.' Contents (with redundancy) Chapter 1.
