Telling Tales

The book challenges the notion of Judeo-Christian dialogue, asserting that it is largely absent. Jacob Neusner proposes that for meaningful dialogue to occur, both Christians and Jews must engage honestly and acknowledge their distinct narratives. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity over diluted interpretations of their traditions, warning that insincerity leads to ineffective communication. The text serves as a guide for initiating genuine discussions, highlighting the potential for deeper understanding when both parties approach the conversation with realism and openness.
