The article responds to the use of the painting "Jésus dans la synagogue déroule le livre" ("Jesus Unrolls the Book in the Synagogue"), by James Tissot, as the cover of the book "The Jewish Jesus: Revelation, Reflection, Reclamation," edited by Zev Garber. Topics include the reputed inaccuracy of the historical portrayal of Jesus Christ in the painting, the relevance of different Jewish movements to Jewish-Christian relations, and the history of Christian anti-Semitism in relation to the portrayal of Jews in the painting.
