About this ebook

WHY I WROTE NEW TESTAMENT PEOPLE
By Rabbi Raymond Apple

I have spent my whole life studying and teaching Judaism. I have been a spokesman for Judaism on a wide array of platforms the pulpit, the classroom, the written and printed word, the audio-visual media not excluding the university campus and Christian theological colleges and the church Press.

I have constantly tried to present the evidence that the teaching of Moses has an undimmed eye and unabated natural force. I even heard myself described by a fervent Christian believer (as I now recall with some amusement) as like Our Lord in using parables and explanations.

Despite many years of interfaith involvement I have time and again - found how true are Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchiks words that it is impossible for a Jew to get inside the mind of a Christian and vice-versa. Regardless, I embarked upon this new book because I felt I had to, and could, present material that underlined the view of Paul van Buren that the modern age of mutual respect possesses a radical significance in the long and often difficult history of Jewish-Christian relationships.

Writing about the theology of displacement, Van Buren said: The church looked at the Jews from its own position and saw only a stubborn refusal to accept what the church preached as the truth. It seems never to have crossed Christian minds that what the church called Jewish stubbornness was, from Israels perspective, fidelity to Torah and Torahs Author (A Christian Theology of the People of Israel, NY: Seabury Press, 1983, p. 276).

In writing this book I have endeavoured to show how fidelity to Torah and Torahs Author can help Christians themselves to gain in understanding of their own doctrine, history and literature. Perhaps a bit patronizing, but true.
