Book Synopsis
Was Jesus the founder of Christianity or a teacher of Judaism? When he argued the latter, Abraham Geiger ignited an intense debate in 19th-century Germany. In this study, Susannah Heschel traces the genesis of Geiger's argument and examines the reaction to it within Christian theology.
