Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. "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.
