Hillel and Jesus: Comparisons of Two Major Religious Leaders

by Loren L. Johns (Editor), James H. Charlesworth (Editor)

An international group of scholars who met in Jerusalem in 1992 examined and compared the traditions that describe the historical figures Hillel (a prominent first century B.C.E. Rabbinic teacher) and Jesus (early first century C.E.). The fascinating results of the study are compiled in this magnificent work of interest to clergy, professors, students, libraries and general readers alike.

This is a collection of essays about Hillel or Jesus (or both). A few are really good, more than a few are boring or bad.
