Summary

"In this book, Jacob Neusner and Bruce Chilton ask simply, "What are experiences both distinctive to the spiritual life of Torah and Christ, respectively, and also accessible to our common humanity?" They examine the experiences of "birth in the faith, death in the faith, and bearing witness to the faith." Each writer explores the ways in which classical statements of Torah and Christ represent critical moments in a person's life of faith, and offers a comparison of the spiritual piety that each religion teaches and nurtures."--Jacket.
