"A growing number of Catholic exegetes have come to a better understanding of the richness of the first part of the Bible and a deeper appreciation of how these writings had positively influenced the teachings of Jesus and early Christianity... We are recognizing, however slowly, that, without deep immersion into the spirit and texts of the Hebrew Scriptures, Christians experience an emaciated version of Jesus' full religious vision."

This book was a broad overview to help me see how past and present Jews practice their faith. Understanding the typology and traditions from the Hebrew Scriptures has forever changed how I read the Bible and view my faith.

not at all what i expected basically a Be Nice to the Jewish people, duh.

I expected something more scholarly and in depth.

I only finished it cuz it was short and i have a hard time walking away from a book
