oa [Jesus in the Talmud, Jezus in de Talmoed Een leesverslag]

In this article the influential study of Johann Maier, Jesus in der talmudischen Überlieferung of 1978, is compared to the recent monograph by Peter Schäfer, Jesus in the Talmud of 2007. It is argued that the minimalist approach of Maier does not do justice to the textual evidence and that Schäfer’s work is more sophisticated and convincingly shows that the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud made a sustained effort to refute the claims of the Gospels about Jesus.
