Summary
In an exploration of modern Jewish literature, Neta Stahl examines the attitudes adopted by modern Jewish writers toward the figure of Jesus, the ultimate 'Other' in medieval Jewish literature. Stahl argues that 20th-century Jewish writers relocated Jesus from his traditional status as the Christian Other to a position as a fellow Jew, a 'brother', and even as a means of reconstructing themselves.
