In The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament, Shaul Magid presents the first-ever English translation of Rabbi Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik's Qol Qore, a rabbinic commentary on the Gospels of Matthew and Mark.
Shaul Magid is the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of Religion at Indiana University, Bloomington and Kogod Senior Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. His latest books are Hasidism Incarnate: Hasidism, Christianity, and the Construction of Modern Judaism and American Post-Judaism: Identity and Renewal in a Postethnic Society. Jordan Gayle Levy is an independent translator. Peter Salovey is President of Yale University and the Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology.
"[A] phenomenal and ground-breaking volume...This book should be on
the bookshelf of any and every rabbi, minister, priest, Sunday
School teacher, instructor in Judaism and/or Christianity in modern
times, Christian divinity students, Jewish seminarians, and
laypersons who care to cultivate the love and compassion taught by
precept and example in the very best of Judaism and Christianity,
from the time of Jesus to the present. Teachers and students who
study Magid’s book will learn to appreciate that the until now
relatively obscure Rabbi Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik was a vital link
in that chain of love. Thanks are due Shaul Magid for making him
known to the world at large."
*The Review of Rabbinic Judaism*
"The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament is a fascinating book
on one of the most intriguing and forgotten rabbinic characters of
the nineteenth century. Elijah Soloveitchik was, to be sure, an
idiosyncratic figure, but the story of his life and work is
extremely instructive for those interested in the Jewish
Enlightenment as well as Jewish-Christian relations today."
