 | A Rabbi Talks With Jesus by Jacob Neusner
Buy new: $13.82 / Used from: $4.94 Rabbi Neusner explains that he cannot accept Jesus as the Messiah because Jesus makes claims that would place Him over the Torah, i.e. Jesus must be God or something similar. As a Jew, Neusner can't accept this.
This, of course, is the claim of Christians so it dovetails nicely.
By the way, Pope Benedict XVI has often referred to this book as monumental in Christian/Jewish relations.
