The Controversy Of Zion Reed, Douglas; Benson, Ivor (Preface) Conspiracy,History,Judaica,Reading

"The real issue which set up violent antagonism between the Founder of Christianity and the Pharisees has been made clear by Reed, with quotations from Biblical and Talmudic sources, reinforced with others supplied by Jewish scholars, both ancient and modern. He shows how news of contemporary political happenings can be rendered instantly intelligible when presented in the total historical context to which they belong. Douglas Reed was one of the most brilliant political analysts and descriptive writers of the [20th] century." - dust jacket.
