Why should I read the New Testament? Isn't it anti-Semitic?
Not really. Actually, the New Testament is
a very Jewish book—written almost entirely by Jews, to
Jews, about Jewish concepts (including the Messiah). An
examination of the New Testament clearly shows that the charges
of anti-Semitism are false. To the contrary, the New Testament
elevates and honors the Jewish people and their place in G-d's
program (see John 4:7,19-22; Romans 3:1-2; 9:1-5; 11:26-27).
We suggest that you read the New Testament, starting with the
book of Matthew (the first book of the New Testament). You
will immediately be struck by the Jewish tone of the book. Try
it, and let us know what you think.
