Review of 'The Misunderstood Jew' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Having been raised in a Christian tradition that considered Jesus to be a Jew in every way, and that viewed every human being of any ethnicity equally responsible for his death, I learned more from this book about the ludicrous assumptions of some Christians than I did about Jesus's Jewishness. It was well written and thought-provoking all the same, and Levine's compassion for both groups shone through the text. Would that all Jews, and all Christians, shared her understanding and desire for harmony.
