Jesus and Judaism
This work takes up two related questions
with regard to Jesus: his intention and his
relationship to his contemporaries in
Judaism. These questions immediately lead to
two others: the reason for his death (did
his intention involve an opposition to
Judaism which led to death?) and the
motivating force behind the rise of
Christianity (did the split between the
Christian movement and Judaism originate in
opposition during Jesus' lifetime?).

"I would be surprised if Jesus and Judaism does not turn out to be the most significant book of the decade in its field."
--John Koenig
The New York Times
"What Sanders offers is good history –clearly stated hypotheses, expressed presuppositions, critically considered evidence, prudent and plausible conclusions . . . . Jesus and Judaism is a milestone study."
--Paula Fredriksen
The New Republic
"The greatest value of Jesus and Judaism is that it embodies a generation's desire to avoid exaggerations from right or left, to stop portraying Jesus as a predecessor of Martin Heidegger or Nicaragua's President, Daniel Ortega, and to try to understand what he meant to say and accomplish."
