Judaism on Trial

Jewish-Christian Disputations in the Middle Ages. 'A superb work of committed scholarship . Maccoby has done a fine job in recapturing the intellectual and social drama of the confrontations.' Jonathan Sacks, Jewish Journal of Sociology.

Hyam Maccoby's now classic study focuses on themajor Jewish—Christian disputations of medieval Europe: those of Paris (1240),Barcelona (1263), and Tortosa (1413–14). It examines the content of thesetheological confrontations with a sense of present-day relevance, while alsodiscussing the use made of scriptural proof-texts. Part I provides a generalthematic consideration of the three disputations and their social andhistorical background. Part II is a complete translation of the account of theBarcelona Disputation written by Nahmanides, one of the greatest figures in thehistory of Jewish learning, and was Jewish spokesman at the disputation. PartIII contains Jewish and Christian accounts of the Paris and Tortosadisputations.
