Judaism on Trial: Jewish-Christian Disputations in the Middle Ages (The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization)

This important study provides a paraphrase of the Christian accounts of the meetings between rabbis and clerics, and a complete translation of the Hebrew accounts of the disputations at Barcelona and Torotsa (the latter from the Shevet Yehudah). Maccoby fully describes the historical and social background, giving insight into the use by both sides of scriptural proof-texts.
