Jesus the Jew - preview
It wasn’t as controversial or provocative as the promotion suggested but Reg Snowdon finds a new television series interesting and informative
Jesus the Jew, part one of Christianity: a History Channel 4 on Sundays at 7pm and from wwwchannel4com/4od/indexhtml on PCs
‘Jesus the Jew’, the first episode in a new TV series, only partly lived up to the expectations aroused by its advance publicity – that is, it was only partly provocative and partly controversial It was provocative to those unaware of the results of New Testament criticism over the last two hundred years but not to anyone else And it was controversial to those similarly unaware of the ghastly anti-Semitic history of Christian Europe Anyone whose misfortune it is to have read, however little, in these arcane fields of study will almost certainly have remained unprovoked and unhappily in agreement with the on-screen argument
