His treatment of the relationship between the Jesus of the New Testament and early Judaism challenged many antisemitic assumptions and conclusions of contemporary and subsequent Christian scholars, including liberal Protestant theologians. Geiger saw Jesus as a Pharisaic Jew, but this view totally destabilized Christian perspectives. Geiger was the first Jew to be thoroughly versed in Christian scholarship and to be armed with an array of rabbinic textual evidence unknown to his Christian counterparts. Yet as much as Geiger railed against Christian anti-Judaism, his own anti-Christian attitudes remined equally tenacious. Christian reactions to his writings frequently intensified the negative depiction of Judaism, particularly of the Pharisees, and insisted upon the opposition between Jesus and Judaism. ER -
