Who Crucified Jesus and The impact of the Crucification on Christian civilization, world history and the Jewish people. Over the centuries, this controversial question has troubled the world and has been a source of dispute and debate. And, throughout the ages, the Jewish people, unjustly accused of deicide, has carried the burden of the Crucifixion. Dr. Zeitlin refutes this accusation with authoritative and well documented arguments. In a lucid, objective presentation of legal and historical evidence, this illuminating book makes it clear that the Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus. The crucifixion is discussed in terms of its centrality in Christian civilization, its meaning for world history, and its impact on the Jewish people.

Excerpt from Megillat Taanit as a Source for Jewish Chronology, and History in the Hellenistic and Roman PeriodsThe main sources of the history of the Second Commonwealth are: the first and second books of Maccabees, Josephus' Works, and the Tannaitic Literature.In dealing with the Tannaitic Literature one ought not to lose sight of the fact that it has reached us through the medium of the Amoraim, who at times incorporated in the Tannaitic texts their own interpretations. The relative historical values of first and second Maccabees is a much disputed question. The crucial point in this controversy is, Which of these two books is more exact in its chronological dates? Some scholars believe that they have found the chronology of first Maccabees in agreement with what is known to us from reliable Greek historians, and hence decide in its favour against second Maccabees; while others take the opposite view. Similarly scholars have questioned many a statement by Josephus on account of the discrepancy between him and the Greco-Roman historians with regard to the chronology.With the help of the Megillat Taanit I trust that I have shown the identity of the dates given in first and second Maccabees and in Josephus, and thereby have removed all discrepancy, thus reinvesting their statements with historical significance and authority.This was made possible by the discovery that the Palestinian Jews started to reckon the year beginning in the autumn 312 as the year 2 of the Scleucidean Era. The first Book of Maccabees follows this method, while the second counts this year as first.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
