RIVAS, Luis Heriberto. Jesus according to some jewish authors. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.102, pp.243-282. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v44n102.a02.

During the 20th century, biblical studies revealed an increasing interest in the 'Jesus of History', not as opposing the 'Christ of the faith', whom priests preach about in the churches, but as an interest to understand the way in which his contemporaries saw him. Against that general background, a significant number of Jewish authors have focused on studying the person of Jesus to characterize him as a prominent personality of Judaism, that is, an acknowledged master within the greatest masters of Israel. Through a reading of the works of some contemporary Jewish authors who have studied the personality of Jesus, the article presents the way in which they aim to restore his image by considering him not only as Jewish -as one of their own-, but mainly as part of the cultural and religious heritage of Israel, that is, as one of the greatest masters of Israel.

Keywords : Jesus; Judaism; Christology; Christianity; Interfaith Dialogue.
