Endnote 11 – The Jewishness of Jesus

Harvey Falk, Jesus the Pharisee. A New Look at the Jewishness of Jesus (New York: Paulist, 1985). Though not of the same scholarly caliber as the works of Vèrmes and Sanders, Falk’s book is noteworthy (see Time, July 22, 1985, p. 57) because of the author’s Orthodox Judaism, his use of traditional Jewish sources and the Catholic publisher.
