Quotes by Peter Schäfer (?)

“Its main thesis is that not only the emerging Christianity drew on contemporary Judaism but that rabbinic Judaism, too, tapped into ideas and concepts of Christianity to shape its own identity; that, far from being forever frozen in ingrained hostility, the two sister religions engaged in a profound interaction during late antiquity.”
― Peter Schäfer, The Jewish Jesus: How Judaism and Christianity Shaped Each Other

“This scathing attack on the Christian claim of parthenogenesis may well explain the use of the strange name Panthera/Pantera/Pandera/Pantiri in most of its variations6 for Miriam’s lover and Jesus’ real father (in Greek as well as in rabbinic sources). The last derivation among all the possibilities that Maier discusses, and that he finds “captivating at first glance” but nevertheless dismisses,7 is the assumption of an intentional distortion of parthenos (“virgin”) to pantheros (“panther”).”
― Peter Schäfer, Jesus in the Talmud

“There exists hardly any other New Testament text that is more unambiguous and firm in Jesus’ mission on earth and his divine origin, indeed his identification with God,114 and that is sterner in its attitude toward the Jews than the Gospel of John.”
― Peter Schäfer, Jesus in the Talmud
