Who Crucified Jesus and The impact of the Crucification on Christian civilization, world history and the Jewish people. Over the centuries, this controversial question has troubled the world and has been a source of dispute and debate. And, throughout the ages, the Jewish people, unjustly accused of deicide, has carried the burden of the Crucifixion. Dr. Zeitlin refutes this accusation with authoritative and well documented arguments. In a lucid, objective presentation of legal and historical evidence, this illuminating book makes it clear that the Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus. The crucifixion is discussed in terms of its centrality in Christian civilization, its meaning for world history, and its impact on the Jewish people.
