The Distortion by John Fischer, PhD, ThD and Patrice Fischer, PhD

2000 Years of Misrepresenting the Relationship Between Jesus the Messiah and the Jewish People What Mel Gibson missed in The Passion of the Christ! In this timely, eye-opening, and important new book, Drs. John and Patrice Fischer respond to ancient questions being raised once again, due to the release of the popular new film, The Passion of the Christ. The Jews killed Jesus; they rejected their own Messiah. Jews just don't believe in Jesus, and never have! These statements, although common, are not true! The Distortion exposes how these misunderstandings began, how they continued through the last two millennia, what it has cost, not only the Jewish people, but also the Church. Here are some of the topics covered: Are the Gospels Reliable? Are the Gospels Anti-Semitic? Has the Church Been Anti-Semitic? A Modern Script for the Passion Story Cinematic Choices That Could Lead to Anti-Semitic Conclusions Have the Jewish People Responded to God's Plan? The Distortion reveals how the facts of the New Testament gradually got distorted in the minds of people, and shows what can be done to rectify something that has led to travesty and tragedy for 2000 years. 126 pages. 5.4 x 0.3 x 8.5 inches.
