Norman F. Cantor on Christianity:
“Christianity itself
was a Jewish enterprise, and not simply because Jesus was a Jew; Cantor
points out, in his characteristically flippant way, that ‘the Church
of Rome is officially dedicated to Peter and Paul– two good Jewish boys,
Simon Rocky and Saul of Tarsus.’”– Lawrence Grossman, review of The Sacred Chain: The History of the Jews, by Norman F.
