I read this years ago and I'm not real sure where I read it but what comes to mind when I try to recall is "Jews, God and History" by Max I. Dimont. But I'm not sure.
It might also have been from one of the TTC lectures or one of the books by Bart Ehrman.
I did a lot of reading about the history of Christianity in the 1960s and 70s and then again about 20 years ago. This was mostly from a historical perspective as I'm Jewish. I haven't read that much since then on the topic so it's a bit of a blur.
